Medication helps reduce symptoms while you build long-term and life-changing skills in therapy. Your prescriber and therapist can share notes to stay coordinated on your needs.

In a recent study, 80% of people with mild to moderate symptoms who were treated with both therapy and medication avoided a recurrence of depression.

Frequently asked questions

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 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. Research has shown this process contributes positively to better outcomes. We support you seeing real progress throughout your journey with us.

  • Subscription plans and medication costs are FSA/HSA eligible and we accept FSA/HSA cards as payment. Check with your insurance provider to learn how to use these benefits.
  • Cerebral offers additional discounts if you choose to prepay for multiple months of care. 
  • You can cancel your subscription plan at any time for any reason.

We can prescribe thousands of medications that help manage symptoms for a wide range of conditions — including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Common medications we prescribe include:

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)


Escitalopram (Lexapro), sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), and more.



Serotonin & Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)


Duloxetine (Cymbalta), desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), and more.



Atypical Antipsychotics


Aripiprazole (Abilify), olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), ziprasidone (Geodon), and more.

We do not prescribe controlled substances such as benzodiazepines or stimulants at this time — but we can prescribe other medications that are helpful for treating many symptoms and conditions that are treated with these types of controlled substances.

In your first month of a medication plan, you will meet with your prescriber to complete your intake (typically one session, but may take more). Then you’ll schedule a follow up session, which typically occurs about 30 days after intake is complete. Timing can vary based on your prescriber’s recommendation.

After that, you’ll meet up to two times per month as your prescriber determines is clinically appropriate. 

If you need additional support between sessions, you can log into your account and send a message to our on-call care team anytime.

Your subscription includes up to two sessions per month, though you may schedule additional sessions for an additional fee. Exceptions may apply if your prescriber has determined that you have an extenuating medical need.

If your prescriber does determine that you have an extenuating medical circumstance that requires additional sessions, they may decide not to bill you for additional sessions.

If your prescriber does not determine any extenuating circumstances, you will be billed $25 per session beyond the 2 sessions included in your subscription plan.

If you are concerned about additional costs but need an additional session with your prescriber, log into your account to send us a message so we can help.

We’re here to support you whenever you need it.

Your subscription plan includes weekly visits, up to 5 sessions per month.

You may schedule additional sessions, which will be billed at $65 per hour.

You can also log into your account and click on Messages, and then Therapist Chat, to send them a direct message between sessions if necessary.
