Finding, booking, and seeing an in-person therapist or psychiatrist can be costly and time-consuming. Luckily, there’s an easier way to prioritize your mental health and wellness. That’s where Talkspace comes in: It offers access to a licensed therapist, psychiatrist, or other provider — and since meetings happen over text, voice, or video (based on your preference), you don’t need to leave home or completely rearrange your calendar for it. Even better, in-network insured members pay a $30 co-pay on average — and even without insurance, the costs are surprisingly low.
Talkspace offers lots of options — everything is tailored to your needs & lifestyle.
