The doctor was extremely empathetic and listened and understood me. I have went to many doctors face to face and I find that quality extremely rare. I cannot thank this doctor enough and I am so relieved to have found this service. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Talkiatry for?

Talkiatry is for anyone who is struggling with their mental health. We’re a psychiatry practice that provides virtual, in-network psychiatry.  

What we specialize in:

  • Anxiety  
  • ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)
  • Bipolar disorder  
  • Child & adolescent care
  • Depression  
  • OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)
  • Pregnancy & postpartum care

We also treat related conditions (like adjustment disorders). Our goal is to connect you with the best possible care for you. If that’s not with us, your doctor will let you know and provide recommendations for where to find resources that are the best fit for you.  

If your mental health is making it hard to go about your day, let’s talk. Take our 10-minute online assessment to see if Talkiatry is right for you.  

Where does Talkiatry operate?

Our care is virtual, but your doctor still needs to be licensed in the state where you live. Our doctors are licensed in 43 states and counting.  

Here’s an updated map of the states where our psychiatrists offer virtual visits.

Can I get an estimate of my visit cost?

The best way to get a detailed estimate of your cost is to contact your insurance company directly, since your cost will depend on the details of your insurance.  

For some, it’s just a co-pay. If you have an unmet deductible it could be more.  

Call the number on your insurance card and ask about your plan’s coverage for outpatient psychiatric services.

Does Talkiatry accept my insurance?

Talkiatry is in-network with over 60 major insurers. Use our insurance checker to see if we accept your plan. It just takes a few seconds!

What’s the difference between a therapist and psychiatrist?

Psychiatrists are doctors who have specialized training in diagnosing and treating complex mental health conditions through medication management. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or similar, a psychiatrist may be a good place to start.  

Other signs that you should see a psychiatrist include:  

  • Your primary care doctor or another doctor thinks you may benefit from the services of a psychiatrist and provides a referral    
  • You are interested in taking medication to treat a mental health condition  
  • Your symptoms are severe enough to regularly interfere with your everyday life

The term “therapist” can apply to a range of professionals including social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts. Working with a therapist generally involves regular talk therapy sessions where you discuss your feelings, problem-solving strategies, and coping mechanisms to help with your condition.  

Can an online psychiatrist diagnose?

Absolutely. In most cases, virtual psychiatry is as effective as in-person care (American Psychiatric Association, 2021). Your psychiatrist can provide an evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan.  

Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care with Talkiatry isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.

How long will I see my psychiatrist?

It’s up to you! Depending on your needs, you may see your psychiatrist for several months, or you may benefit from more long-term ongoing treatment. Finding the right treatment option can take some time, but it’s always worth it. Your psychiatrist will work with you to set goals for your treatment so you know what to expect.

Which medications do you prescribe?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to medications. Your psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment option that’s right for your needs.

Learn more about common psychiatric medications.

What if I don’t want to take medication?

That’s okay! Our psychiatrist will work with you to find a treatment plan that’s right for you. If this doesn’t include medication, your psychiatrist can refer you to other treatment options, such as talk therapy. Sometimes we'll need to refer you to a therapist outside of Talkiatry.

Is my information kept private?

We take our responsibility to safeguard our patients' privacy incredibly seriously. This commitment applies throughout each patient's journey at Talkiatry and after they leave our practice.
