“Talkiatry has none of these restrictions and can be used like any other in-network doctor you typically go to. Now, by not using a traditional contractor model, Talkiatry will have more stability in its services but could struggle with scale. Plus, in order to expand into new markets, Talkiatry has to go through the arduous legal process of local licensing requirements, instead of just going to a white-label solution that helps staff similar companies while offloading individual practitioner certification. As of now, Talkiatry has 44 clinicians on its platform, with 33 as psychiatrists and the remaining as nurse practitioners. Co-founded by Robert Krayn and Dr. Georgia Gaveras, Talkiatry is a digital health startup that helps consumers access in-network appointments with psychiatrists, for therapy and medicine management. While the Ginger, a well-capitalized growth stage company, and Lyra Health, a digital health unicorn last valued at $4.6 billion have recently made waves in the behavioral health space, Talkiatry is obviously confident that it can break into the sector, which continues to attract record amounts of venture capital from investors.
