Cerebral is strongest for people whose main need is medication. Its plans page lists a medication plan at $180 every 3 months, about $60 a month, including an intake and evaluation with a licensed prescriber and ongoing follow-up, with prescriptions shippable through CerebralRx. Individual therapy is listed at $150 per session, and therapy subscriptions include 2 or 4 sessions a month, with extra sessions billed at $135. Couples therapy is listed at $150 a month. Cerebral is in-network with several insurers and offers out-of-network claims; it also publishes the most you would pay if insurance denies a claim, which is $250 for a therapy intake and $205 for a regular session. You can message your therapist or prescriber between sessions, with replies taking up to 2 business days, and book a free 15-minute call with a Care Coordinator to find a therapist. For talk therapy alone, its per-session price is higher than the weekly subscriptions above.
