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.
