Online Psychiatry in Akron, Ohio

Your own page, not Cleveland's footnote

Akron usually gets lumped in with Cleveland, including by the big hospital systems and their waitlists. But from Cuyahoga Falls to Barberton to Stow, this is its own place with its own shortage of psychiatric appointments. Every Recharge visit is by secure video with a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, often available within days instead of months.

We handle evaluation and medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and substance use, for adults, teens, and kids ages 6 and up, plus dedicated programs for men's mental health and first responders.

Students and shift workers welcome

University of Akron and Kent State students can be seen anywhere in Ohio, including from a dorm between classes. Nurses, factory workers, and anyone on rotating shifts get the same flexibility, with some evening appointments and nothing lost to commutes. Start with a free two-minute screening if you want a first read before booking.

Insurance we take in Ohio

Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Optum plans, Medical Mutual of Ohio, Carelon, Medicare Advantage plans, and more. Self-pay is $225 for an initial evaluation and $150 for follow-ups. The fastest way to check your plan is to start booking and pick your insurance.

Common questions from Akron patients

How fast can I be seen?

Many appointments are available within a few days, including some evenings.

I already see a therapist at a local practice. Can you just handle medication?

Yes, that split works well. We handle evaluation and medication management and coordinate with your therapist so everyone pulls in the same direction.

Do you see kids and teens?

Yes, ages 6 and up when telehealth is appropriate, with a parent involved for minors.

What about emergencies?

We are not an emergency service. In a crisis, call or text 988 or call 911. Our crisis resources page lists free 24/7 lines.
