Tell us what's going on.

  • Choose psychiatry (MD/DO or PNP), therapy (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC, PsyD), or both

What your visits include

Psychiatry, therapy, or both.

Psychiatry & medication management

Board-eligible MD/DO psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe when appropriate. Medication management is part of the visit.

Therapy with licensed clinicians

Licensed therapists — LCSWs, LMFTs, LPCCs, and clinical psychologists (PsyD/PhD) — for talk therapy, CBT, trauma-informed care, and more.

$40/month async membership — launching soon

A new model for members whose plan isn't in-network: AI collects your intake, and a licensed clinician confirms it in a short focused video session.

Check your coverage

Two questions. One answer.

Tell us your plan and we'll show you what you'd pay — before you sign up, before you enter anything, before you commit.

We're in-network with four California Medi-Cal plans today and adding more each quarter. Your info stays under HIPAA and is never sold.

You’re covered — $0 out-of-pocket.

Your Medi-Cal plan is in-network. Psychiatry, therapy, and medication management visits are covered in full.

Common questions

Before your first visit.

Most members see a clinician within a week. After you check your plan and complete intake, we match you within 24 hours and typically get you into a video visit within 7 days.

Yes. We show you real profiles — photos, bios, languages, next available slot — and you choose. Not an algorithm, not us. You can switch clinicians any time from your portal.

Both if you want. Medication management is handled by our psychiatrists (MD/DO) and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Talk therapy is handled by our licensed therapists (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC, PsyD). You can see one, the other, or both.

Yes. Our psychiatrists and PNPs can prescribe when appropriate. Your prescription is sent directly to your pharmacy — typically same or next day after your appointment.

Life happens. You can reschedule or cancel through your patient portal up to 24 hours before your appointment at no charge. Our care coordinators are also available by phone Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm PT at (650) 265-2707.

TalkDoc isn't an emergency service. If you or someone else is in a life-threatening situation, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. We do support ongoing crisis planning with your clinician as part of regular care.
