With more than 400 therapists credentialed across the country, working in tandem with the company’s 800+ full-time psychiatrists, Talkiatry spans more than 100 insurers, covers over 170 million lives, and has delivered over 4 million patient visits
NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Talkiatry, the nation’s largest private employer of psychiatrists and the preferred in-network psychiatry partner for more than 70 U.S. health systems, today announced that its therapy services are now available in all 50 states. The company now directly employs over 400 therapists, 85% of whom are licensed in multiple states, enabling consistent access to care for Talkiatry’s more than 170 million covered lives nationwide. Following Talkiatry’s partnership with AMGA (American Medical Group Association) to expand access to in-network psychiatric care nationwide and the company’s $210M Series D funding round earlier this year, this expansion marks the next step toward Talkiatry’s vision of providing comprehensive behavioral health care across the acuity spectrum, from low to high.
“Telehealth made mental healthcare more accessible almost overnight, but it also created a patchwork of quick fixes,” said Dr. Georgia Gaveras, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Talkiatry. “Multistate licensure has become a moving target since the pandemic, and it’s created real inconsistency for patients who move, travel, or live near a state line. What patients need is centralized, high-quality care across the full spectrum of mental healthcare – psychiatrists and therapists working collaboratively, leading to the best care outcomes possible. This expansion of our therapy offering nationwide enables a more coordinated behavioral health experience for patients and clinicians.”
Fragmented care remains one of the biggest barriers to effective mental healthcare. Nationally, only around 50% of the nearly 60 million adults with a mental illness receive treatment in a given year. In the U.S., the average wait time to receive behavioral health services is 48 days. For patients who do receive care, many see a therapist and psychiatrist through separate provider networks, with little to no communication between the two. Talkiatry’s model is designed to close that gap, with therapy utilized as a targeted tool psychiatrists and care teams can leverage alongside medication management to support patients in improving mental health outcomes.
Talkiatry has demonstrated the impact of this model. Patients who see both a Talkiatry therapist and psychiatrist maintain their connection to care two times longer than those receiving psychiatric care alone. Additionally, nearly 85% of Talkiatry therapists build a positive therapeutic relationship with their patients within the first month of care, based on the company’s clinical quality measurement.
Talkiatry’s approach is designed to deliver a more connected care experience by bringing psychiatry and therapy together under one coordinated care team. The company has now delivered 4 million visits, surpassing the 3 million mark announced earlier this year. With this continued momentum, Talkiatry is making a broader range of mental health services available to every patient throughout their mental health journey.
“Patients often come to us after bouncing between a therapist and a psychiatrist who’ve never spoken. That disconnect is where care falls through the cracks,” said David Guggenheim, National Director of Psychotherapy at Talkiatry. “Being able to expand our coordinated model into therapy nationwide means offering every patient a consistent care experience from the start of their mental health journey.”
Talkiatry’s therapy expansion applies the same full-time clinician model that has allowed the company to become the nation’s largest private employer of psychiatrists. By employing clinicians full-time, Talkiatry empowers providers to build meaningful, long-term relationships with patients, while fostering greater continuity and collaboration across care teams. This approach has solidified Talkiatry as a trusted partner for health systems, payers, and referring physicians across the care continuum.
