Talkspace Services + Pricing

Talkspace offers comprehensive telehealth treatment options, including therapeutic services and psychiatric care to meet all your needs. Explore the options below to find the best fit for you.

At Talkspace, therapy is used as an umbrella term and refers to talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy. Under this subscription, you'll work with a therapist to understand your personal goals and come up with a plan to help you start feeling better.

Therapists include psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and counselors; they're not able to prescribe medication. For this, Talkspace gives you the option to switch to psychiatry or sign up for psychiatry in addition to therapy, if desired.

How much does Talkspace Therapy cost?

All of Talkspace's therapy plans are recurring subscriptions— billed automatically on either a monthly, quarterly, or biannual basis— with frequency chosen by you when you sign up.

We’re committed to offering you accessible, high-quality clinical care by licensed therapists at a great price. (Keep in mind: the average cost of a traditional in-person therapy session is $175 - $500 per session— a big departure from our plans!)

Can a minor under the age of 18 sign up for Talkspace Therapy? (Teen Counseling State Requirements)

During the teenage years, a lot of changes are happening at once—physically, hormonally, and developmentally. Prioritizing mental health is just as important as grades, accomplishments, or college admissions. With Talkspace, teens can find a counselor or therapist they feel safe with to work through various challenges.

Talkspace has taken all legal requirements into consideration to support dependents/users ages 13-17. Each U.S. state has different requirements regarding what age necessitates parental consent to start therapy and whether the provider can disclose information to the parent/guardian without the adolescent’s consent. The vast majority of U.S. states require parental/guardian consent for a teen to enter into therapy and do not allow providers to share information with a teen client’s parent/guardian without official authorization and signed release. All Talkspace providers have familiarized themselves with the rules of their respective states.

There are specific exceptions to consent that vary by state, such as being an emancipated minor. If you believe that one of these exceptions might apply to you, please contact us at support@talkspace.com.

Like our adult clients, teen clients (ages 13-17) can connect with their provider through online real-time sessions and/or communicate in a secure, private room that is available 24/7, depending on the selected plan.

To discover more about how teens can make the most of their therapy and what they can expect from using Talkspace, here's a great article from our blog.

I’m the parent/guardian of a teen interested in starting Talkspace therapy. How do I grant consent to their treatment?

If your teen is a minor in a state that requires parental/legal guardian consent for starting therapy, you’ll be asked to provide and upload an online recording of consent (by reading a script provided by Talkspace) and proof of identification. This online provision of consent and identification is digitally recorded and provided using the Talkspace HIPAA compliant app.

Psychiatry is a medical specialty that uses medication to help treat mental health conditions. You and your psychiatrist will talk about the best treatment plan for your needs—which may or may not involve medication.

The psychiatry network consists of psychiatrists and nurse practitioners who are licensed medical providers specializing in mental health and medication management.

While Talkspace allows for seamless collaboration between therapy and psychiatry to provide comprehensive care, the two services are separate. You can, however, work with a psychiatrist in addition to maintaining your therapy subscription at Talkspace.

You're able and welcome to maintain an individual, private talk therapy subscription in addition to your couples room at Talkspace.

The flexibility of having Talkspace on your mobile device or desktop means you won’t have to find time for both of you to visit a provider’s office. It’s easier than waiting a week to remember what to talk about, and you won’t have to rearrange your lives or hire a babysitter!

Can my partner and I join live sessions from different devices?

Yes! You and your partner will join your couples therapy live sessions using separate devices. You do not need to be in the same location in order to attend.

My partner and I live in separate states. Can we sign up for couples therapy? Do we need a provider licensed in both states?

Individuals wishing to sign up for couples therapy through Talkspace do not need to be in the same state to receive services—that's the beauty of Talkspace! You and one other individual will receive access to a shared therapy room where you'll each have access to your primary therapist. You will not need to have a provider who is licensed in both states, they only need to be licensed within the state of residence of the primary client (or the account holder who signed up for and purchased the subscription).

Please note, due to different restrictions and requirements in different states, your Talkspace provider will provide the final determination on whether they can work with individuals in separate states.
