Aura

Aura connects you directly with a licensed psychiatrist who performs a comprehensive evaluation during your first appointment, talking through your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. From there, the psychiatrist develops a medication plan and monitors your response at follow-up visits, adjusting as needed. Most patients get an appointment within days, and video visits are available across most of the country.

The platform treats a broad range of psychiatric conditions and doesn't limit itself to non-controlled medications, which means ADHD patients needing stimulants or those with specific anxiety presentations can access more options. Appointments are generally on the pricier side for uninsured patients, though some insurance plans are accepted. If you want direct psychiatrist-to-patient relationships without the therapy component, Aura's straightforward psychiatry-focused model fits that need.
