How much does online psychiatry cost?
Pricing for our telehealth mental health services is cost-effective. Get 20% off your treatment plan for the first three months, with 3-month pricing for $49/month thereafter (if prescribed). No insurance is required, so there are no complicated insurance questions or health insurance plan considerations. Your initial consultation is free, as are unlimited messaging, check-ins or follow-up appointments.
What mental health conditions can be treated?
We offer access to online psychiatric services for a variety of conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression, issues with burnout, stress, and major life events and changes.
We are committed to delivering holistic, quality care virtually. In addition to telepsychiatry, we offer an online therapy service for talk therapy (also called psychotherapy) so patients can talk to a licensed therapist via our website.
Note: we do not treat certain mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD or ADHD.
Are controlled substances prescribed?
Currently, providers on our platform do not prescribe controlled substances (eg, benzodiazepines, klonopin, etc.) for psychiatric care. Instead, the mental health provider you work with on our platform will review symptoms of anxiety or depression, your medical history, and other information to determine the best psychiatric medication among a range we offer.
What can I expect during a psychiatry telemedicine visit?
You will answer questions about mental health and provide information about your medical history and physical symptoms to a medical provider. The provider will be an online doctor or nurse practitioner who can determine if medication or other options are right for you (such as therapy, referral, etc). These mental health professionals will then share the information with you so you can make an informed decision on treatment options.
Do the depression or anxiety medications have side effects?
Most medications have the potential for side effects, some more than others. Potential side effects from SSRIs and other psychiatry medications on our platform are listed on our website under important safety information on each medication page among other places. Always feel free to ask a provider about side effects prior to or during treatment.

Be sure to mention to your prescriber if you drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruit regularly.

Seek emergent medical care if you are experiencing any of these symptoms as they could be a sign of a life-threatening condition.

Do not stop taking paroxetine, even when you feel better. Abruptly stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms including: nausea, sweating, dysphoric mood, irritability, agitation, dizziness, sensory disturbances as electric shock sensations, tremor, anxiety, confusion, headache, lethargy, emotional lability, insomnia, hypomania, ringing in the ears, and seizures.
Sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working. Depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 6-8 weeks to fully improve.
Patients, their families, and caregivers should be alert to the emergence of anxiety, restlessness, irritability, aggressiveness and insomnia. If these symptoms emerge, they should be reported to the patient’s prescriber or healthcare professional. All patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should watch for and notify their healthcare provider for worsening symptoms, suicidality and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the first few months of treatment.
If you no longer need your medication, the best way to dispose of most types of old, unused, unwanted, or expired medicines (both prescription and over the counter) is to drop off the medicine at a drug take back site, location, or program immediately. You can use the DEA DIVERSION CONTROL DIVISION LOOKUP to find your nearest drug disposal site.
If no drug take back sites, locations, or programs are available in your area, and there are no specific disposal instructions (such as flushing) in the medication guide or package insert, you can follow these simple steps to dispose of most medicines in your trash at home:
- Mix medicines (liquid or pills; do not crush tablets or capsules) with an unappealing substance such as dirt, cat litter, or used coffee grounds;
- Place the mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag;
- Throw away the container in your trash at home; and
- Delete all personal information on the prescription label of empty medicine bottles or medicine packaging, then trash or recycle the empty bottle or packaging.
