Mentavi Health

What Mentavi is

Mentavi Health is a telehealth diagnostic evaluation service focused on clarifying mental health conditions before you commit to ongoing treatment. Unlike typical therapy platforms that jump into treatment, Mentavi starts with a structured diagnostic evaluation reviewed by a doctorate-level clinical psychologist. The company's central premise is that many people don't know whether they have ADHD, anxiety, depression, or some combination, and that guesswork leads to wrong treatments. Mentavi's evaluation is designed to cut through that confusion: you answer questions online, a licensed psychologist reviews your responses and assesses clinical context across multiple conditions, and you get a report with specific findings and next-step recommendations. You can then pursue treatment with Mentavi or take your results and records to a provider outside the platform. The service has evaluated over 200,000 people.

How it works

You start by choosing between three paths: the Mental Wellness Snapshot (free, about 15 minutes, a wellness check-in with no diagnosis), the Diagnostic Evaluation ($219), or if you already have results, jumping straight to treatment.

If you choose the Diagnostic Evaluation, you complete a clinically validated questionnaire online, answering questions about your mood, focus, sleep, stress, and behavior. You can complete it all at once or at your own pace; Mentavi estimates 60 to 90 minutes of total time. The company charges $219 for the evaluation, or you can pay in three installments of $73 with no fees or interest.

After you submit your evaluation, a doctorate-level clinical psychologist licensed in your state reviews your responses. They assess clinical context across up to 29 different mental health conditions to identify which ones might apply to you. You typically receive your results within five days. The report includes thoughtful next-step recommendations. If the psychologist determines that treatment is clinically appropriate, you can then schedule ongoing care (medical treatment or therapy) with Mentavi. If you prefer, you can take your results and documentation to your own provider outside Mentavi's platform.

If you proceed with treatment after an evaluation, Mentavi offers two ongoing services: Medical Treatment and Therapy, both delivered via virtual visits with a licensed clinician. Medical treatment costs $185 to $220 per appointment and may or may not include medication, depending on what's clinically appropriate. If medication is prescribed, it's sent to the pharmacy of your choice. Therapy also costs $185 to $220 per appointment and helps you build coping skills and work through patterns affecting your daily life. Mentavi emphasizes that medication is never guaranteed; it's prescribed only when clinically appropriate based on your specific situation.

Mentavi is available nationwide, though treatment availability varies by state and clinician capacity. The company has an online patient portal, referral system for healthcare providers and schools, and email support at [email protected]. You can check state availability via their chatbot on the site.

What the pages state

The Diagnostic Evaluation is priced at $219 (or three payments of $73 with no fees or interest). This price is fixed and covers the online questionnaire, the psychologist's review, and your results report. It's available nationwide for anyone ages 6 and older.

Medical Treatment and Therapy appointments cost $185 to $220 per appointment. These services are available to adults 18 and older in 40+ states. State availability is variable and depends on clinician capacity in your area.

The Mental Wellness Snapshot is free and takes about 15 minutes. You answer questions about your mood, focus, sleep, and stress, and receive a wellness score. The company explicitly states this is not a diagnosis and is optional; you can go straight to the Diagnostic Evaluation if you prefer.

Mentavi's Diagnostic Evaluation is clinically validated specifically for ADHD diagnosis in adults. The company has published peer-reviewed research results in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (October 2025). The evaluation assesses clinical context across up to 29 mental health conditions, not just ADHD. Conditions commonly evaluated include anxiety (ongoing worry that affects daily life), depression (shifts in mood, motivation, energy, or interest in activities), and ADHD (challenges with focus, organization, time management, or follow-through affecting work or relationships).

A doctorate-level clinical psychologist licensed in your state reviews each evaluation. The assessment is structured and includes clinical review of patterns in daily functioning. Results are typically available within five days, though the company notes that timelines may vary based on clinical review, information provided, and individual circumstances.

The company states it has evaluated over 200,000 people. It describes the evaluation as research-backed and clinician-reviewed.

What the pages don't say

Mentavi does not publish whether insurance covers the evaluation or treatment, or whether FSA or HSA accounts are eligible. It does not specify wait times for booking an evaluation, or typical appointment frequency for ongoing therapy.

The company does not publish a list of which 40+ states offer treatment, only that availability varies by state and clinician capacity. It does not clarify what medications can be prescribed for ADHD or whether there are restrictions on controlled substances. It does not publish outcome data on symptom reduction or whether patients can switch providers if the first match isn't working.

It does not state what percentage of evaluations lead to treatment recommendations, or the company's refund policy.

Who it fits, who it doesn't

Mentavi is an excellent fit if you're unsure what's causing your symptoms and want clarity before committing to ongoing therapy. If you suspect ADHD but want to rule out anxiety or depression, or vice versa, the structured evaluation is built for that. It works well if you want to take your results to a provider you already trust (your regular doctor, a therapist you've seen before, or a specialist), since you can use Mentavi purely for diagnosis and get care elsewhere.

It's a good fit if you're paying out of pocket and want transparent pricing upfront: $219 for evaluation is known, and $185-$220 per treatment appointment is published. If you're in a state where telehealth therapy is expanding and you want to explore treatment options, Mentavi's availability in 40+ states covers most of the US. If you're young or have a teen questioning their mental health, the evaluation for ages 6+ is inclusive.

It's a less ideal fit if you need immediate crisis intervention or are in acute distress, since the evaluation takes time and is diagnostic, not emergency care. If you need ongoing continuity with the same therapist and Mentavi's state availability doesn't cover you, it won't work. If you need treatment right away and don't want to wait for a diagnostic step, some people prefer direct therapy without evaluation first.

It's not suitable if you have insurance that you want to use and are unwilling to pay out of pocket, since there's no information on insurance coverage. If you need medication for ADHD and want to know upfront whether a provider will prescribe controlled substances, the site's policy on prescribing is unclear.

The evaluation is available for kids (ages 6+), but treatment is adults only (18+), so families with younger children who need ongoing therapy should plan to source that elsewhere.
