We want to encourage our clients to stick with regular therapy for at least 2 months to have a better chance of seeing meaningful improvement in their symptoms. Strong Start packages offer a discount to new clients when they commit to 2-4 months of care up front.

Extensive data has shown that Cerebral clients who remain on a therapy plan for more than 2 months are 3x more likely to report significant improvements in their well-being.

A committed approach to therapy can help you:

- Form a strong relationship with your therapist
- Achieve consistent results
- Build meaningful skills you can use to manage you well-being long term

Strong Start Pricing Details:
Strong Start for therapy is $245/month for 2 months, billed as one initial payment of $490 when you subscribe. This saves you $100 on your first 2 months as a reward for committing to your long-term mental health.

With Cerebral, not only do you get weekly sessions with a highly skilled therapist, just like you would in-office, but you also get access to a multitude of additional resources, including journal prompts, meditations, exercises, and more.

In addition, your contact with your therapist isn’t limited to a clock or the office – you can message your therapist at any time. This open line of communication with your therapist is something our customers love because they feel more connected and supported. We empower you to reach out to your therapist whenever you need guidance, without the constraints of a traditional in-office setting.

Moreover, we recognize that everyone's therapeutic journey is unique. If you ever find that you'd like to switch therapists or explore different approaches, you can easily take care of it in the app and avoid any awkward conversations.

We believe that quality mental health care should be accessible to all, and we're committed to making it both effective and affordable for you. If you're seeking a transformative and personalized approach to therapy, Cerebral is here to help you achieve your mental health goals on your terms. By choosing Cerebral, you not only benefit from this flexibility but also save up to 65% when compared to the costs of traditional in-office therapy, which costs $200 per session on average.

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.

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.

We'll ask you a few questions about yourself when you sign up, and then show you which therapists are licensed to practice in your area. From there, you can filter your options by things like age, gender, therapeutic approach, and more to find someone you are likely to work with well.

You can also see each therapist's availability and choose a time to meet that works for you. Most clients are able to meet with a therapist within 5 days of signing up, but availability varies based on location.

Therapy sessions happen online over video chat or on the phone, depending on your preference. We recommend meeting over video for the best chance to connect and engage with your therapist, but the choice is always up to you.

In between sessions, your therapist may send you chat messages or summaries of your last session. You can use the same chat to ask questions to get additional support until next time you meet.

We also have a team of coordinators available to help with any other questions about your service, scheduling, or account.

A therapist compassionately holds space for clients and helps them process and integrate difficult emotions and experiences. The overall goal of therapy is to reduce symptom severity and help the client develop healthier thinking patterns so that they can thrive in all areas of life.

Cerebral therapists use a variety of evidence-based approaches to support their clients. All of these approaches are grounded in solid scientific evidence found in rigorous clinical trials. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and more.

Our therapists all hold a doctoral or master's graduate degree (PsyD, PhD, MSW, MSEd, etc) from an accredited institution. They all maintain or are in the process of obtaining licenses to practice in one or more states. Some of our therapists hold Associate level licenses, which means that they are working toward independent licensure under the direction of a professional clinical supervisor. Licenses include: Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
