Talkiatry

Talkiatry is a clinician-led virtual psychiatry practice founded in 2020 by Robert Krayn, a patient who encountered barriers to mental healthcare first-hand, together with Dr. Georgia Gaveras, a triple-board-certified psychiatrist. The company provides in-network psychiatric and therapy visits by video, covered by major insurance, for conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD and mood disorders. It reports more than 2m patient visits delivered, with first appointments typically available in days rather than weeks or months.

The practice operates in 45 US states, works with more than 100 insurance partners, and employs over 600 psychiatrists and therapists. Its stated purpose is to widen access at a time when, by its own figures, 60% of American adults with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated each year and 45% of clinicians sit outside insurance networks.

The technology side of the business covers a virtual telehealth platform, tools aimed at reducing administrative burden, and integration with insurance and reimbursement systems. The operating model is designed to give clinicians the clinical autonomy of private practice alongside the stability of a hospital system, with an emphasis on keeping providers focused on patients rather than paperwork.

Verticals include mental healthcare, psychiatry, behavioural health, telehealth and health insurance. Funding information is not disclosed.
