Talk to a Therapist Through Teladoc
Now you can connect with a doctor for behavioral and mental health issues through your Teladoc benefit. If you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, issues related to addiction or another behavioral or mental health diagnosis, call or log on to Teladoc to speak with a licensed counselor, therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist from the privacy and convenience of your home. This new benefit is only for eligible adults. Children in need of behavioral health services should still be referred to a specialist by your primary care doctor.
