Pros & Cons
Pros
Accepts insurance from major carriers (Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Anthem, TRICARE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare), with many members paying a $0 copay
Multiple therapy formats in one plan — unlimited messaging, live video, and voice sessions — so members can choose how they communicate with their therapist
Covers more than individual adult therapy: teen therapy (13-17), couples counseling, and psychiatric medication management are all available
Members can switch therapists at no additional cost if the initial match isn't a good fit
Large, established provider network (5,600+ licensed providers) and user base (1 million+ users)
Cons
Out-of-pocket pricing starts at $69/week ($276+/month) for messaging-only, which is expensive for uninsured users versus lower-cost text-based competitors
Live video sessions are capped (up to four 30-minute sessions per month) even on higher-tier plans
Psychiatry evaluations and follow-ups are billed separately from therapy plans, adding cost for members who need both services
The exact price a member pays with insurance isn't published up front — it depends on individual plan/eligibility verification
