Online therapy and psychiatry platform with medication management, but no longer prescribes controlled substances.
About Cerebral
Cerebral is an online mental health company founded in 2020 that provides therapy and psychiatric medication management through video visits. The platform offers both self-pay and insurance-covered services across most US states. Following a 2022 DOJ investigation into prescribing practices, Cerebral stopped prescribing controlled substances including ADHD stimulants and benzodiazepines. The company now focuses on non-controlled psychiatric medications like SSRIs, SNRIs, and non-stimulant ADHD treatments (atomoxetine, guanfacine). Cerebral accepts major insurance plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, with typical copays around $30. Self-pay options include medication management at $60/month and therapy at $175/session.
