What is Cerebral?

Cerebral is an online mental health platform offering therapy and psychiatry (medication management) for conditions including anxiety, depression and ADHD, on a subscription or via insurance.

Pricing and value

Cerebral competes on combining therapy and medication in one plan. Cash prices run about $60 a month for medication alone ($180 every 3 months), $175 per therapy session, or $365 a month for medication plus therapy, and it takes some insurance. Under a 2024 DOJ non-prosecution agreement it stopped prescribing controlled substances to all patients and agreed not to prescribe them in the future, so its ADHD care uses non-stimulant medication only.

What patients say

2.2 / 5

A federal complaint filed by DOJ on the FTC's referral alleges Cerebral's founder and a former executive directed fake positive reviews (including on Trustpilot) and suppression of negative ones; those allegations are still in litigation, so we discount the star average. Cerebral the company settled FTC negative-option and privacy charges (2024) and paid a $3.65M forfeiture in a DOJ non-prosecution agreement over past controlled-substance practices.

★ Trustpilot

~5,300 reviews, but a pending federal complaint alleges former executives directed fake Trustpilot reviews, so we treat the average cautiously

Polarized and wary: some praise quick access, but many cite billing and cancellation traps, provider churn, and distrust tied to the controversies.
