As a young professional with so much constantly up in the air, I found it hard to make time to find a therapist, schedule convenient appointments, and build a relationship... only to move again several months later. Talkspace simplified this all for me being in an app and my therapist is THE BEST

With this app, I can send a message whenever I need or want to, and ramble on as long as I want without a timer hanging over my head...I can take the time I need to say the things I want to, and once I’m done, my therapist comes back with support and questions to help me move forward in my mental health journey.

Check eligibilityFrequently asked questions
What insurance does Talkspace accept?
We currently accept insurance from Premera, Cigna, Optum, Gatorcare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and more. You can view our full partner list here.
What is Talkspace?
Talkspace is the most convenient and affordable way to connect with a licensed therapist — all from the privacy of your device. Send your therapist text, audio, picture, and video messages at any time, and they will respond daily, 5 days/week. If you’re looking for the “face-to-face” therapy experience, we also offer Live Video Sessions so you and your therapist can plan to connect in real-time.
Does Talkspace take insurance?
Yes! Talkspace partners with health plans across the U.S. to make therapy more affordable and accessible than ever before.
What if I’m not covered by my insurance?
Not to worry! Talkspace is still more affordable than most co-pays for in-person therapy. You can also pay with an FSA/HSA card, if you have one.
Are Talkspace therapists licensed?
Yes. Our national network features thousands of licensed therapists across all 50 U.S. states and Canada. On average, Talkspace therapists have on average, 9 years of experience as professional mental health care providers, and have been carefully vetted and trained to use our platform.
How does Talkspace protect my privacy?
At Talkspace, your privacy and security are our #1 priorities. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and encrypted banking-grade, industry standard technology. All interactions with your therapist are confidential and private. In addition, Talkspace always requires a password for use, and our iOS app accommodates Touch ID and Face ID on enabled devices. For more details, read our Privacy Policy.
