Do I need a prescription?

At Cerebral, we understand that each client's needs are unique, and we aim to be inclusive of various treatment preferences. You do not need a prescription to join and use Cerebral as our plan types are designed to address symptoms with and without medication.

Our team consists of licensed NPs, PMHNPs, and MDs who have the capability to write first-time prescriptions for eligible clients. If you have a previous prescription for medication and have had positive results with a specific treatment plan in the past, you are encouraged to share that information with your Prescriber and Care Team. Medication is prescribed based on your individual needs, diagnosis, and the clinical evaluation by your Prescriber.

Please be aware that we no longer offer treatment with controlled substance medications through Cerebral.

If you are not interested in taking medication and prefer therapy-only treatment, we offer a Therapy-only plan as well. If you wish to switch to a plan that doesn't include medication management, please feel free to send us a message from your client account, and we will assist you accordingly.

We are dedicated to providing individualized treatment options that align with your preferences and goals. Please schedule a session with your Prescriber through the app or reach out to us via the messaging feature in your client account if you'd like to discuss treatment options further.
