Online Psychiatry in Columbus, Ohio

Skip the wait, not the care

Psychiatry wait times around Columbus can stretch for months, and that is before you fight I-270 at rush hour to get there. Every Recharge visit is by secure video, so you can meet with a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner from your apartment in the Short North, your house in Dublin or Grove City, or your dorm at Ohio State. Same evaluation, same prescriptions when appropriate, none of the commute.

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. We also offer dedicated programs for men's mental health and first responders.

Built for busy Columbus schedules

Students juggling classes, parents shuttling kids around Westerville and Hilliard, healthcare and tech workers on unpredictable shifts: video visits fit into a lunch break or after the kids are down. Free mental health screenings take two minutes 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 Columbus patients

Do you see OSU students?

Yes, as long as you are physically in Ohio during the visit. If you head home to another state for the summer, we serve 14 other states too, so care often continues without interruption.

How fast can I be seen?

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

Can my child or teen be seen?

Yes, we see 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.
