Talkspace
Talkspace offers online therapy and psychiatric services, including medication prescriptions and management. Clients engage with licensed therapists and psychiatric providers via messaging or live video sessions. The startup simplifies access to mental health care through insurance partnerships, allowing many users to pay with copays, or directly through employers and out-of-pocket options starting at $69/week. Talkspace matches clients with therapists, optimizes for convenience and flexibility, removes the hassle of in-person sessions, and allows easy switches between providers. Their methods are evidence-backed, with users reporting improvements in anxiety/depression and indicating high satisfaction, often rating it equal to or more effective than traditional therapy.
