Success stories
I have been cared for by 4 telemedicine companies. Cerebral is the best. Their technology is amazing and this is important. Cerebral emails, texts and my care provider truly cares about my mental wellbeing. I finally was properly diagnosed and am treated every month.
E.G.
My overall experience with Cerebral has been exceptional - their customer service is great, responsive and always helpful..and my therapist has been life-changing!

My medical team is professional, responsive, easy to reach, and I feel confident that my mental health issues will be managed properly. I have hope and don’t feel like like “just another case.” They see me as a person.

Our in-house pharmacy, CerebralRx, does not currently accept insurance.

The Cerebral Way is our intentional approach to improving your mental health.
Our program is built to give you specific goals and milestones to look forward to and help measure your progress over time. Our goal is that you’ll learn the skills to navigate life’s challenges on your own — and know you have the long-term support of your care team whenever you need it.
When you join Cerebral, you will:
- Build a personalized treatment plan with your therapist and/or prescriber to use as a guide for your sessions
- Complete an initial assessment before your first intake session, and then about once every 30 days to keep track of how your mental health changes throughout your treatment
- Meet with your therapist or prescriber periodically to review your treatment plan and make any necessary adjustments.
These steps give important structure to your mental health care journey and are designed to help you make more meaningful progression with your therapist or prescriber over time. Every person’s journey is different, and our approach is tailored to your specific needs and flexible enough to make adjustments to your treatment along the way.
This approach is intended to help you play an active role in your mental health care with support from your therapist or prescriber. Our goal is to help you make real, long-lasting progress in your mental health.
Therapy
