Talkspace

About this app

Talkspace is the most convenient and affordable way to improve your mental health this summer and beyond.

Get matched with a licensed professional therapist in your state from the comfort of your device and message via text, audio, and video. Whether you need personal guidance, help with stress, or couples counseling, Talkspace is here to help. Many insurance plans now cover Talkspace, making therapy, stress management, and counseling more accessible and affordable for both individuals and couples who need help.

HOW DOES TALKSPACE WORK?
Tell us your preferences for therapy, whether it’s relationship advice, couples therapy, help with stress, help with anxiety, or treatment for symptoms of depression, and you'll be matched with a professional therapist in your state the same day. Once matched, you can chat with your therapist via unlimited text, audio, picture, or video messages from anywhere, any time—you’ll hear back at least once a day, five days per week. Talkspace works with major insurance providers, and with over 100 million Americans covered, it is the top in-network therapy service.

IS TALKSPACE EFFECTIVE?
Online therapy through Talkspace has been shown to be as effective as face-to-face therapy for those seeking help and stress relief. In one recent study, 81% of participants felt Talkspace is as effective or better than in-person therapy with a psychologist. In another, individuals who used Talkspace for only two months significantly improved symptoms of depression and anxiety, reducing their overall stress levels. With tools like unlimited chat messaging, licensed therapists provide tailored support and counseling to meet your needs, whether it’s individual or couple therapy. Talkspace also offers AI-powered tools like personalized Talkcasts—custom podcasts created by therapists and generated using AI to support your therapy goals between sessions.
Featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNN.com, Business Insider, and more, known for providing professional mental health treatment and counseling through licensed psychologists. Whether you’re seeking support for stress, anxiety, or relationship issues as a couple, Talkspace offers flexible treatment and counseling options that fit your lifestyle. Plus, with insurance coverage, therapy is more affordable than ever.

Ratings and reviews

Glitchiest app ever!! I have had multiple sessions with a therapist I really like, and the app has malfunctioned EVERY SINGLE TIME! I had started with the app because it provided the convenience to have therapy at home and not have to struggle to find a baby sitter or drag my child to therapy with me; but at this point, that might actually be easier and more convenient than using the app. I do not recommend!!

Very professional and friendly. The app is incredibly easy to use, and setting up an appointment for therapy or with a psychiatrist was prompt. It says they provide medication management. However, they are unable to prescribe controlled substances. Which is the reason I gave them the lower star rating. They should have that caveat made clear prior to taking the time to establish a relationship with a provider. So take note of that if it is a part of your health and wellness program.

the app itself works great. The service has issues. The price is good and they accept insurance. However, from my experience the therapists are often late or cancel at the last minute. I assume they are using Talkspsce to supplement their normal practice and they make much less money from Talkspace sessions. Constant tardiness and last minute cancelations are detrimental to relationships with mental health clients.
