About

Talkiatry operates an in-network telepsychiatry platform delivering virtual psychiatric care covered by major insurance providers across 45 states. Founded in 2020 by Robert Krayn and psychiatrist Georgia Gaveras, the company addresses a systemic problem: 60% of American adults with diagnosable mental illness receive no treatment, largely because 45% of clinicians operate out-of-network due to low reimbursement rates and administrative burden.

The platform has delivered over two million patient visits through a network of 600+ psychiatrists and therapists, integrated with more than 100 insurance partners. First appointments are available in days rather than months, meaningfully reducing time to care. The company's model preserves clinician autonomy while eliminating the administrative friction that drives providers out-of-network, combining the independence of private practice with institutional stability.

Talkiatry's technical infrastructure spans telepsychiatry systems, insurance integration, and administrative workflow optimisation - domains that directly support the delivery of accessible, covered mental healthcare at scale. The company's founding was driven by the recognition that technology and operational design, rather than supply constraints, represent the primary barriers to treatment access.
