How Gaba Telepsychiatry compares
GABA Telepsychiatry is a boutique outpatient psychiatry group rather than a high-volume telehealth platform, and that distinction defines its positioning. Where Talkiatry and Telapsychiatry focus on in-network insurance and scalable intake models, GABA operates as a fee-for-service, out-of-network practice — similar in structure to Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates in the private-pay psychiatry space. The trade-off is familiar: out-of-network costs more upfront, but patients often get longer appointments, more continuity of care, and greater prescriber flexibility. GABA's initial consultation fee of $400 for one hour and $250 for 30-minute follow-ups is consistent with premium private psychiatry rates and positions it above mid-tier telehealth platforms but within range of what patients with strong out-of-network benefits can recoup partially through insurance. GABA's scope across both pediatric and adult populations — including geriatric psychiatry — distinguishes it from most telehealth ADHD services that restrict to adults. It also treats conditions beyond ADHD including bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and gender-affirming care.
About
GABA Telepsychiatry is a multi-state online psychiatric practice offering board-certified psychiatry services for children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients across a range of mental health conditions. The practice operates a network of psychiatrists with licenses spanning multiple states including California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Carolina, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and New Mexico, among others. The clinical scope at GABA is broad by telehealth standards. In addition to ADHD — one of its most frequently treated conditions — the practice manages major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders including OCD and social anxiety, PTSD, anger disorders, gender-affirming psychiatric care, schizophrenia, and geriatric psychiatry needs. This breadth reflects a full-spectrum outpatient psychiatry model rather than the condition-specific focus of platforms like NOCD (OCD only) or Done ADHD (ADHD only). GABA's ability to serve both children and adults in the same network is a meaningful differentiator. Most telehealth ADHD platforms restrict services to adults; GABA's child and adolescent psychiatry capability means families with a child who needs ADHD evaluation — or who needs psychiatric care alongside or after a pediatrician's referral — can receive specialist-level care without navigating the notoriously long waitlists that characterize in-person child psychiatry in most U.S. metro areas. The practice operates on a fee-for-service model with out-of-network billing. Patients pay at the time of service and receive detailed superbills for submission to their insurance carriers for out-of-network reimbursement. While this model places a higher upfront cost burden on patients than in-network platforms, it eliminates the formulary restrictions and prior authorization requirements that in-network psychiatry often involves — allowing providers to prescribe based on clinical judgment rather than insurance criteria.
Pricing
GABA Telepsychiatry is an out-of-network practice that does not bill insurance directly. Initial consultations are $400 for a one-hour appointment; follow-up appointments are $250 for 30 minutes. Patients receive itemized superbills to submit to their insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement amounts vary by plan. HSA/FSA payments are typically eligible. Contact the practice at (833) 312-4222 for current scheduling and to confirm insurance reimbursement eligibility.
Who this is best for
Adults, adolescents, and children needing board-certified psychiatric care for ADHD or complex mood and anxiety disorders, particularly patients who want more clinical depth, longer appointments, and a sustained prescriber relationship than high-volume in-network platforms typically provide. Well suited to patients with out-of-network insurance benefits who can partially offset costs through reimbursement, and to families needing both child and adult psychiatric care from the same network. Not a fit for patients without significant disposable income or robust insurance reimbursement, or for those who need in-network coverage to access care.
What to expect
The initial consultation is a one-hour psychiatric evaluation that covers the presenting concern — whether ADHD, mood disorder, anxiety, or other — along with psychiatric history, medications, family history, and psychosocial context. For pediatric patients, parents are included in the evaluation process. Following the evaluation, the psychiatrist discusses diagnostic impressions and a treatment plan; prescriptions can be issued at the conclusion of the first appointment if clinically appropriate. Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes and are scheduled based on treatment complexity — typically every four to eight weeks during active medication titration, then quarterly for stable patients.
