Here’s how care at Brightside works
1. Take a free assessment: Answer a few questions to help your provider better understand what you’re experiencing. View your results and choose psychiatry, therapy, or both.
2. Meet with your expert provider: Choose your provider and book your 1:1 video session.
- For psychiatry: Your first session is typically 30 minutes and includes an evaluation, a conversation about your personalized treatment, and a chance to ask any questions. You and your psychiatric provider will talk about how you’re feeling—then decide on the best next steps, together.
- For therapy: All of your therapy sessions are 45 minutes. Your therapist will ask some questions about you and your past experiences. Then you can talk about goals and go over how they can best support you.
3. Follow your treatment plan: You can message your provider with questions at any time.
- For psychiatry: Take any medications as prescribed and stay in touch with your psychiatric provider about how you’re doing.
- For therapy: Continue your 1:1 video sessions and complete self-guided lessons. Our self-paced lessons help you practice skill-building exercises that are proven to help you feel better. Your therapist will review your responses and provide guidance along the way.
4. Track your progress, and start getting better: Share how you’re doing in check-in questionnaires so your provider can stay up to date.
- For psychiatry: You and your provider will meet for follow-up appointments. Typically, you’ll see your provider every few months—or more often, if treatment changes are needed.
- For therapy: You and your therapist will typically meet weekly to talk about challenges and celebrate your progress. You can share what’s working well for you and where you want to go deeper. Your therapist will help guide you through your personalized program so you see the best results.
