Accessible
No long wait period. Appointments are typically available within 5 days.

FAQs
We’re rethinking mental health to work for everyone. We believe it should be easy for everyone to access care and experience real growth.
UpLift makes it simple for people to pay for therapy and psychiatry sessions using insurance or with cash at an affordable rate.
No, UpLift doesn't offer subscription plans. We keep sessions affordable by partnering with insurance. You can meet with your provider as often as you need, and you'll only be charged after each session occurs.
Everyone’s mental health is different, which means there’s no set way to know how long you’ll be on medication. Some people reach their goals in a year, some in a month. Some people may need to stay on medication, like a form of maintenance or daily vitamins.
You may find medication isn’t right for you or you’ve made the kind of progress where you feel like stopping. If you want to stop, talk to your provider. Suddenly stopping medication can lead to side effects.
After sharing with us a bit about yourself, you will meet with an UpLift provider. If it seems right, you’ll receive a prescription for medication. Your provider will then ask for your preferred pharmacy where you can then pick up your medication.
You’ll only be charged after each session. Before you meet with your UpLift provider, you will receive an email with instructions on how to check your session costs with insurance. You and your provider can develop a treatment plan that works best for you.
The cost of your medication will depend on your insurance plan. We recommend speaking with your insurance to learn how much your medication will cost. Try asking about your copay, deductible, and whether they cover your prescribed medication.
Yes, we hire licensed psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are trained to diagnose and prescribe through virtual care. You would meet with a provider who can legally practice in your state. Our providers assess your symptoms to learn if medication is the right treatment using the same tools and processes as any in-person provider.
You choose the mental health care you want to do. However, research shows that psychiatry works best when combined with therapy—which is why we offer support through a care team.

No, you can use UpLift without insurance. We offer affordable cash pay rates for psychiatry sessions.
However, we do suggest checking your options when paying for your medication. Our providers will give you a prescription to be filled at your pharmacy. If you have insurance that we don’t partner with, they may still cover your medication.
