About this app

Start 2025 prioritizing your mental health with Talkspace, the most convenient and affordable way to improve your well-being.
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.

HOW DOES TALKSPACE WORK?
Tell us your preferences for therapy, including relationship advice, help with anxiety, and managing symptoms of depression, and you'll be matched with a professional therapist in your state the same day. You can send your therapist unlimited text, audio, picture, or video messages from anywhere, any time—you’ll hear back at least once a day, 5 days per week.

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 2 months significantly improved symptoms of depression and anxiety, reducing their overall stress levels. Talkspace has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNN.com, Business Insider, and more, highlighting its effectiveness in providing professional mental health support through licensed psychologists for reducing stress, helping with anxiety, improving relationship dynamics, and treating depression.

The app itself is okay. Minimal but functional. There's room for improvement. The service is serving a need that a lot of people have but otherwise wouldn't have access to for many reasons. Not every provider (therapist) is great. But good providers do exist. The search for a good provider can be frustrating and take time, but it is worth it. There are documented issues with the app based therapy business model (in general not just Talkspace), but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

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.

I absolutely love Talkspace and my therapist! The literal only complaints I have are with the app itself. Id love to see these added: Dark mode, A profile option for the clients (for our therapist - if nothing else an option to add a profile picture..). The app can be slightly glitchy at times, but it's not enough to be a problem. I'm giving 4 stars until some more features have been added, but overall a good experience!
