Talkiatry

Talkiatry is a national mental health practice that provides in-network telepsychiatry and therapy services. The company aims to address the significant barriers patients face in accessing high-quality mental healthcare, such as long wait times and high out-of-network costs. By employing a large team of W-2 psychiatrists and therapists, Talkiatry offers virtual appointments for a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, insomnia, OCD, postpartum mental health, PTSD, and substance use disorder. They focus on medication management often in conjunction with supportive therapy, ensuring care is covered by major insurance providers.

Talkiatry was co-founded in 2020 by Robert Krayn, who serves as CEO, and Dr. Georgia Gaveras, the Chief Medical Officer. Krayn, a patient who experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing psychiatric care, partnered with Dr. Gaveras, a triple board-certified psychiatrist, to create a model that supports both patients and clinicians. Their mission is to simplify psychiatry by offering 100% online visits, accepting insurance, and providing appointments in days rather than weeks or months, thereby transforming mental healthcare delivery.

As a healthcare provider, Talkiatry does not make investments in other companies. Instead, it has successfully raised significant funding rounds to expand its own operations and technology. Notable investors in Talkiatry include Perceptive Advisors, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), blisce/, Sofina, and Left Lane Capital. The company has raised over $400 million in total funding, including a $210 million Series D round in early 2026, which it plans to use for further expansion into more complex care and deeper partnerships with health systems.

The team at Talkiatry comprises a large network of experienced psychiatrists and therapists. Dr. Georgia Gaveras, as Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, is triple board-certified in child and adolescent psychiatry, adult psychiatry, and addiction medicine, bringing extensive clinical expertise. Robert Krayn, CEO, leverages his background in finance and understanding of various sectors to develop Talkiatry's business model. The company emphasizes hiring highly qualified clinicians with an average of 10 years of clinical experience, representing diverse subspecialties and languages, to ensure personalized and effective care.
