Who we are
Talkspace, a UHS company, is the leading provider of virtual mental health care, leveraging technology to facilitate human connection and growth.
Founded in 2012, Talkspace pioneered message-based therapy and, with the help of a network of 6,000+ caring licensed clinicians, has grown into a single destination for comprehensive care. Talkspace offers live virtual sessions and messaging therapy for individuals, couples, and teens, psychiatry and medication management, self-guided tools and resources, as well as Tee, the AI guide for mental health support. Making high-quality mental health support available to all is the Talkspace mission, and we’re just getting started.
