Human judgment first
Licensed clinicians diagnose, prescribe, and make treatment decisions. AI does not practice independently.
Dependable mental healthcare
for Medi-Cal communities.
We help eligible members reach licensed psychiatrists and therapists by video. Care stays human. AI only supports.
The need was personal. The work is operational.
Founder Rishi Sachdev started TalkDoc after living with anxiety and seeing how fragile support can feel in a crisis. The company focused first on people covered by Medi-Cal in California—and stayed there.
The mission is simple: make Medicaid mental healthcare easier to reach, led by licensed clinicians, and worth trusting.
How we work.
Access and continuity
Getting in matters. Staying connected matters next. We measure both—and improve them over time.
