Sesame

Sesame works differently from subscription therapy: it’s a booking marketplace where independent clinicians list their rates directly, and you pay per appointment at checkout. There are no monthly platform fees or surprise bills after the session. You can filter by appointment type, state, specialty, and price, and the selection covers both talk therapy and psychiatric evaluations.

The platform suits people who are between insurance plans, who have a high deductible and wouldn’t meet it through therapy alone, or who simply want transparent per-session pricing without the complexity of network negotiations. Sesame also offers a membership program that reduces appointment costs for frequent users. Telehealth visits are available across all 50 states.
