How is Cerebral different from other online mental health services?
Most online mental health platforms connect you with a clinician without a clear goal for your treatment.
We’re invested in your progress. With Cerebral, you’ll always know where you’re going. Your therapist will map a plan with you and give you the support you need to reach important milestones for your mental health.
Is Cerebral online therapy effective?
Yes. We've supported over 500,000 clients in their mental health journey and use their feedback and experiences to help us make continual improvements to our services.
70% of our clients report improvement in their depression symptoms within 12 weeks of therapy. And 82% of our clients are able to meet with a therapist within 5 days of signing up.
In 2023, MedTech breakthrough named us Best Telehealth Platform for our innovative and impactful approach to online therapy.
Do I get to choose my therapist?
Yes. After you sign up and choose a service, you’ll see all available therapists that are licensed in your state. From there, you can learn a bit about each one and see when they’re available to meet. Once you find a therapist you want to work with, you can book a session right away. Most of our clients are able to meet with someone within 5 days of signing up.
We’ve intentionally built our service plans to be as affordable as possible for those without insurance and compared to most other providers within our industry. But due to many challenges within the mental healthcare space, we do not accept insurance at this time.
We may accept it again in the future, and can always provide a superbill for you to submit as an out-of-network claim to your insurer for reimbursement. Amount of reimbursement will depend on your specific insurer and benefits package.
We do accept FSA and HSA cards and offer additional cost savings for quarterly and annual payment plans.
Is Cerebral right for me?
We feel confident in our ability to make a positive impact on the mental health of our clients.
If you're curious about trying therapy or looking for a new provider, we encourage you to give us a try for at least 2 months.
If you don't notice any improvement in your symptoms, our subscriptions are risk-free and you can choose to cancel your service anytime.
What clients are saying about us
My service providers and Cerebral's app have without a doubt changed my life for the better. The ease of scheduling my first appointment and the follow-up care have resulted to months of positive experiences (and me recommending Cerebral to friends and family.)
SashaOctober 19, 2023
It’s nice to have therapy and prescriber appointments easy to set up and all in one place. Convenient and stress free. If insurance is in network, very affordable as well. My therapist and prescriber are awesome and very attentive. I’ve felt comfortable the entire time, and enjoy my appointments. Cerebral has been great and is helping me on my path to a better headspace.
CharlieAugust 20, 2023
I love that I can have access to getting help for my mental health online. I’ve struggled with my mental health since I was a teenager. I’ve been to so many doctors but only since I have been using cerebral do I finally feel like I’m being heard! It’s very easy and convenient. I recommend it to all of my friends.
