Navigating mental health can be difficult, and understanding the benefits and differences between online mental health providers can add an additional layer of confusion to the process.
So we’ve introduced Cerebral Way: results-oriented care that puts you first with personalized plans and clear goals for your mental health.
Most online mental health services simply match you with a clinician and hope you’ll stay on their plans without any goals or end-points in sight. Cerebral Way recognizes you as an active participant in your mental health care. We’ve developed a program with your goals and milestones at the center, so you can track your progress and know what to expect along the way.
Cerebral Way has struck an important balance between consistent care with high standards for all of our clients.
Our clinicians take your goals, needs, and life experiences into account so you get a personalized plan for treatment. This collaborative approach means you’ll always know what to expect along your way to mental wellness.
When you work with any of our high-quality clinicians, you’ll know they’re upholding Cerebral standards to shape your path forward.
1. We'll get to know each other
Your journey with Cerebral begins with a personalized intake session. During this session, you'll share your story (as much as you're comfortable sharing) with a Cerebral clinician who specializes in your specific needs. The focus is on understanding you: your experiences, goals, and challenges.
If you opt for a medication plan, your clinician may arrive at a diagnosis and prescribe medication if it’s appropriate.
There are a few administrative points in this session as well: confirming your identity and making sure you have the app are two examples. This only happens in the first session.
After this session you can decide whether you’d like to continue with your clinician or start with a new one. Cerebral makes it easy for you to switch any time.
2. You'll get a personalized plan
Now that they’ve gotten to know you, your clinician will craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, and you’ll set goals together. This is a roadmap for your mental health journey, complete with milestones and check-ins with your therapist and/or prescriber.
If you were prescribed medication at your intake session, this second session is when you’ll discuss how you’re doing with the medication and its dosage, if you’re experiencing any side effects, and any other general questions you might have.
3. Keep track of your progress
At this point in therapy, you’ll begin regular check-ins to see how you’re feeling about your progress. After 90 days of weekly appointments, you can reevaluate your level of support, and decide whether to continue with therapy, discontinue, or move to less frequent sessions.
If you’re on a medication plan, you’ll have access to on-call clinicians who can help with dosage and refills between less frequent prescriber check-ins. You can also get your medication shipped directly to your door with CerebralRx.
If you’re on a Therapy + Medication plan, your clinicians will coordinate with each other so your care will feel streamlined — you won’t have to repeat yourself in separate sessions.
Cerebral Way helps with virtually anything you’re struggling with, from general life stress to pre-diagnosed conditions.
In addition to specialized care, other benefits of Cerebral Way include:
