Caraway is currently available for people ages 18+ in California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
We embrace and provide care for people of all gender identities and expressions. We also specialize in the health of women and people assigned female at birth because they have been underserved by traditional healthcare. Focusing on an overlooked population helps us provide better care for everyone by avoiding the pitfalls, blind spots, and assumptions of traditional care models.
We are creating a new, accessible, innovative form of healthcare and do not tolerate racism, sexism, queer and transphobia, hateful language, or intolerance of any kind.
We believe the mind and body are one, which is why we use an integrated care model delivering mental and physical health simultaneously for better patient outcomes. We specifically use the evidence-based Collaborative Care model for our patients accessing mental health care. We also provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive healthcare services in an evidence-based manner.
The Care Team includes doctors, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, therapists, coaches, health advisors, psychiatrists, and other clinicians who work closely together as one team. Whether you’re receiving therapy, getting support for new or ongoing conditions, coordinating in-person care, something else, or all of the above—you won’t have to explain yourself over and over again. And you’ll never waste your time trying to figure out what kind of appointment to book or what kind of doctor you need; all your care happens in one place through one connected team.
No, we’re only available to those 18 and older.
Caraway is currently available in California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, with more states coming soon!

Telehealth is proven to be safe and effective and can even lead to better health outcomes by increasing timely access to care and helping patients avoid long wait times in crowded clinical spaces. Telehealth can be used by qualified healthcare providers to assess and manage many common complaints, including a majority of health concerns for those 18+.
Our medical team is experienced with in-person and virtual care and follows evidence-based clinical guidelines. When in-person care is necessary or more appropriate, we will not hesitate to make referrals. If a referral is made, our health advisors will work with you to identify the most convenient and appropriate options for in-person care and help you make an appointment. The Care Team will follow up afterward to ensure you’ve gotten the support you need.
Not yet! Caraway is a mobile app that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
You don’t need to be in school to be a Caraway member. Our focus is people ages 18+, both in and out of school.
Yes. If you’re currently located in a state where Caraway is available (CA, CO, IL, MA, MI, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA), you can sign up and access care through Caraway.
Caraway is a full-service virtual healthcare practice providing mental, physical, and reproductive health services via chat, as well as on-demand or scheduled phone and video appointments. We can answer any health-related question, prescribe medicine, order labs and blood work for you, coordinate with other clinicians, teach mental and reproductive health wellness skills, get STI test kits delivered to your address, and more. You can reach us through the Caraway app 24/7.
Caraway’s team of psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists provide care and support for health concerns, including but not limited to:
Caraway offers both therapy and coaching. Our coaching offering includes programs focused on mental wellness, as well as improving executive functioning skills. Our therapy model is goal-focused to help you develop tools you can use outside of therapy. We pull from various evidence-based practices that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and we emphasize building skills that will help you both in the short and long term. Our in-app MyPath tools allow you to practice the skills developed in therapy and/or coaching not only in times of stress, but also when things are not quite as stressful.
We are not prescribing controlled substances at this time, including benzodiazepines, opiates and stimulants.
Caraway’s team of doctors, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses evaluate, treat, and provide care and support for many conditions, including (but not limited to):
Our Care Team of gynecologists, doctors, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses provide care and support for the following sexual and reproductive health concerns:
We are here to educate our patients and share evidence-based information on everything from STI testing to emergency contraception to abortion. We will help you navigate the new barriers to care, state by state.
For services we don't yet offer or that aren't possible to manage virtually, Caraway will help you find the right clinician, coordinate follow-up care and help understand insurance requirements, including:
Yes, our Care Team prescribes medicine and orders labs. You can have medications delivered to you or choose a preferred pharmacy for pick-up. For lab orders, the Care Team will send you to Quest Diagnostics, a different local lab, or send a test kit to your address where applicable.
Our Care Team is made up of doctors, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, therapists, and health advisors. When you chat with Caraway, you’re always chatting with a real person, never a bot!
The Care Team has expertise in gynecology, primary care, adolescent health, psychiatry, psychology, therapy, and social work. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based therapy modalities. The Care Team works as one integrated team to treat all of your needs in one place, and uses a Collaborative Care model to provide medication management for mental health conditions.
For ongoing care and for therapy, members can choose a specific clinician to work with based on scheduling and availability.
When you tap Chat Now in the app, you’ll be connected to an available Care Team member, who will work with you to determine the best path to address your health concern.
Have you ever wondered if a headache was brought on by stress or your period (or both)? Felt lonely and unsure how to connect back to yourself or with others? Wished you could get quick answers from doctors instead of relying on Google? The Care Team is always available (really, always) and ready to answer any question, big or small. Don’t know where to start? Here are some questions other members have asked:
You can ask us about headaches, stomach pain, sadness, medication, rashes—anything! If the Care Team can’t help via chat, we’ll initiate a phone/video visit immediately, set up a telehealth visit, and/or refer you to in-person care.
At Caraway, we affirm all gender identities and expressions. We have primary care and mental health providers experienced in working with trans and gender non-conforming individuals, and we are able to offer a variety of healthcare services.
Currently, for individuals looking for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), we can prescribe estrogen and anti-androgens and offer menstrual suppression, but we are unable to prescribe testosterone due to federal restrictions. We can help coordinate referrals to experienced providers in your area for this and other services that require an in-person evaluation.
We can do both! The Care Team can assess and treat many primary care concerns via virtual care. For those services we’re not able to provide virtually, we’ll offer referrals and care coordination. If you’ve got an established primary care doctor, we’re happy to coordinate with them to ensure your care history remains up-to-date and accurate.
When you sign up for Caraway, you can agree to Health Information Exchange Consent (HIE), which gives our Care Team permission to receive and share your medical records with your external providers. You can update this setting at any time in the Privacy Policy section of the app.
Caraway can complement student health services by providing comprehensive 24/7 care when student health may be closed (i.e., weekends, evenings), doesn’t have available appointments nor immediate access to care, doesn’t offer digital options, can’t answer questions, or isn’t able to coordinate with other clinicians. Our team provides immediate access for answering health-related questions, managing symptoms, diagnosing and treating many conditions, and educational resources as you navigate your own care at college.
Unlike student health, we are also available after you leave college. If you start therapy, long-term care, or simply find a clinician you like, we will stay with you as you transition out of college and beyond.
We deeply value our role as a trusted care provider and follow all federal and state regulations, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Please see Caraway’s Privacy Policy for more.
Central to that promise is safeguarding the privacy of your personal information, and accordingly, there are two consents in the Caraway app. Included are Caraway’s Notice of Privacy Practices and Caraway’s Patient Service Agreement.
You’re also the only one who can decide if your information is shared with other clinicians. For this, there’s a third consent form in the Caraway app called the HIE (Health Information Exchange) consent.
If you want to delete your account, you may, but by law, we’ll need to save your medical record in our system. If you have questions about our privacy policies, you can chat with us directly in the app.
No, we do not sell any of your information. We’ll only share your medical records with external providers if you decide to do so and have consented to the Health Exchange Information Consent.
