Rula

Rula is a nationwide telehealth mental health platform that connects patients with licensed therapists and psychiatrists for virtual care. Founded with a mission to make quality mental health care accessible, Rula has built one of the largest in-network therapy directories in the United States — accepting Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Kaiser, Optum, Oscar, United Healthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid, among others. The platform covers a wide range of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and more. Patients can filter for therapists who specialize in specific populations — teens, LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, or families — or who practice specific modalities like CBT, DBT, or EMDR. Rula's psychiatric services add prescription management to the platform, allowing patients to receive both therapy and medication management in one place. Psychiatrists can evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe for conditions including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. The matching process is designed to reduce the friction that often delays people from starting therapy. After answering a few questions about what you're looking for and confirming your insurance, Rula surfaces available providers who meet your criteria. Most patients can book an appointment within two to five days of signing up. Because Rula operates in all 50 states and accepts a broad range of insurance plans — including Medicare and Medicaid — it is one of the more accessible options in the telehealth mental health space, particularly for patients who have historically struggled to find in-network providers with availability.
