what’s on your mind
Brightside provides online mental health care to individuals 13 years and older. Our expert providers can help with anxiety, depression, and many other common concerns. We offer personalized psychiatry, clinically-proven therapy, and teen care.
Please note: Our providers do not prescribe controlled substances. Here is a list of medications we do prescribe.
If any of these describe a condition you’re experiencing, it’s best for you to be seen in person by a primary care provider who can help you find the treatment that’s right for you.
Brightside makes it easy to get life-changing mental health care from the comfort of your home. We offer psychiatry (medication), therapy, or both.

2. Meet with your expert provider: Choose your provider and book your 1:1 video session.
3. Follow your treatment plan: You can message your provider with questions at any time.
4. Track your progress, and start getting better: Share how you’re doing in check-in questionnaires so your provider can stay up to date.
