Overview
Talkiatry is a national psychiatry practice staffed exclusively by board-certified psychiatrists, all MDs or DOs with specialized psychiatric training. The company operates entirely in-network with major insurance carriers making psychiatric care significantly more affordable than out-of-network alternatives. Talkiatry psychiatrists can evaluate for ADHD, prescribe stimulant and non-stimulant medications, and provide ongoing medication management alongside therapy when appropriate. Appointments are available within days.

Who it suits
Adults seeking insurance-covered psychiatric care — particularly medication management for conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or OCD. Talkiatry is one of the few telepsychiatry networks that accepts major health insurance plans, making it a strong choice for patients who want a psychiatrist rather than a therapist, need a diagnosis and prescription, or have tried therapy without sufficient results.
How Talkiatry compares
Talkiatry is among the strongest options for insured patients seeking telehealth psychiatry, combining broad insurance acceptance, 45-state availability, and a clinical model anchored in longer-than-average appointment times. The 60-minute initial appointment for adults (75 minutes for kids) is a meaningful differentiator — most in-network psychiatry encounters are 30 minutes or less, and the extended intake at Talkiatry allows for more thorough evaluation of complex presentations. Compared to LifeStance Health, Talkiatry is telehealth-only (no in-person option), which limits appeal for patients who prefer face-to-face care, but the pure telehealth model enables more consistent scheduling and broader geographic reach within its 45-state footprint. Versus Telapsychiatry (7 states) and similar smaller psychiatry telehealth groups, Talkiatry's scale provides far more appointment availability. The major limitation is that Talkiatry is psychiatry-only: it does not offer therapy. Patients needing medication plus talk therapy must engage a separate therapist, either through Talkiatry's referral network or independently. Talkiatry does not offer self-pay; patients without accepted insurance cannot use the platform.

What to expect
Your first appointment is an initial psychiatric evaluation lasting 60 minutes where your assigned psychiatrist reviews your history, symptoms, and treatment goals. If appropriate, your psychiatrist will discuss medication options and may start a prescription at the end of the first visit. Follow-up appointments are typically 30 minutes and focus on medication monitoring, side effects, and adjustments. Talkiatry accepts insurance and bills your insurer directly — most patients pay a standard psychiatric copay of $20–$70 per visit.
