About this app

Talkspace is the most convenient and affordable way to improve your mental health. Get matched with a professional licensed therapist in your state from the comfort of your device and message via text, audio, and video. Whether you need personal guidance or relationship advice, Talkspace is here to support you. Many insurance plans now cover Talkspace, making therapy even more accessible.

HOW DOES TALKSPACE WORK?
Tell us your preferences for therapy, whether it’s relationship advice, 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. 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 to meet your needs. Talkspace has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNN.com, Business Insider, and more, highlighting its effectiveness in providing professional mental health treatment through licensed psychologists. Whether you’re seeking support for stress, anxiety, or relationship issues, Talkspace offers flexible treatment options that fit your lifestyle. Plus, with insurance coverage, therapy can be more affordable than ever.

I'm having a great time with the care provided through the app. however, with this latest update, when I use single sign on (my work pays for sessions) it won't let me into the app itself. I don't know if I have a setting wrong or if there was something that changed with the update but I thought I better say something.

The app didn't properly save my emergency contact info, so after I completed my intake I was told I was still being matched with a provider. This continued for a couple of hours before I tried to add a note to the still being matched notification. At that time I was directed to complete my intake all over again, which then allowed me to book an appointment with a provider. Terrible experience getting started. Sure hope providers are more functional than the app.

The service is great, and it was very easy to find a provider and setup sessions. one improvement I'd like to see is allowing the app to run even if the screen is off. That definitely led to some times where I was telling a story to no one because I didn't realize that my screen turned off and took the audio with it.
