Dr. Vikas Kodali, MD
I provide psychiatric medication management as well as a combination of therapeutic interventions such as supportive, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and lifestyle interventions. I am adept at incorporating psychotherapy principles in all patient care encounters and am trained in treating multiple disorders and diagnoses including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as others.
I completed my psychiatry residency training at Trinity Health Hospital in Livonia, MI, where I was selected to be chief resident. Prior to this, I received my undergraduate bachelor's degree in Neurology and Anthropology from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, and my medical degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. I also completed the psychodynamic psychotherapy fellowship from the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute.
I have experience treating adult patients of all ages in multiple treatment settings including outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, and emergency departments.
Find a psychiatrist in Michigan
When you need help now, you can’t wait months to see a psychiatrist in Michigan. Talkiatry connects you with a psychiatrist licensed in Michigan via secure video, so you can be seen from anywhere in the state. You meet from home, on your own schedule, and many patients get a first visit in days rather than months.
How online psychiatry works in Michigan
You start with a short online assessment about your history, symptoms, and goals. From there, you are matched with a psychiatrist licensed in Michigan and meet by secure video from home.
Your first appointment lasts 60 minutes, giving you time to talk through your symptoms, ask questions, and work with your psychiatrist on a plan. Follow-up visits are usually about 30 minutes, so you can check on progress and adjust the plan as needed. Because your psychiatrist is licensed in Michigan, you can be seen from any part of the state without a drive to an office.
What a psychiatrist in Michigan can help with
An online psychiatrist in Michigan can evaluate and treat a range of mental health conditions. Talkiatry psychiatrists work with patients on concerns such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, along with other conditions.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, so they can prescribe and manage medication when it fits your needs. Medication is one possible part of a plan, not the automatic result of a visit. Depending on your needs, therapy may also be part of your care. Your psychiatrist listens first, evaluates your symptoms, and personalizes treatment to you.
Does insurance cover a psychiatrist in Michigan?
Talkiatry is in-network with major insurers, and your coverage is verified during the free assessment before you schedule. That way you know where you stand before your first visit.
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan. Because plans differ, it helps to contact your insurance company for a detailed estimate of what you would pay.
Getting mental health care in Michigan
Finding local care in Michigan can be slow. As of December 31, 2025, Michigan had 261 designated mental health professional shortage areas covering about 3.67 million people, and only about 39.2% of the need for psychiatric care was met. HRSA estimates that roughly 149 more practitioners would be needed to remove those shortage designations (KFF).
For you, that shortage often means long waits or few options close by. Online psychiatry helps expand access by connecting you with a licensed psychiatrist anywhere in Michigan, rather than limiting you to providers in your immediate area.
