About Talkiatry:

Talkiatry is redefining psychiatry by offering accessible, compassionate, and responsible mental health care. Co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist, Talkiatry addresses the challenges both patients and providers face in delivering and receiving high-quality care.

Each year, 60% of U.S. adults with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated due to limited access to care.
