About Talkspace
Talkspace provides online therapy and psychiatry through text, audio, and video sessions with licensed providers. Unlike BetterHelp, Talkspace accepts insurance from many major carriers including Aetna, Cigna, and Optum, making it more affordable for insured users. The platform also offers psychiatric services with medication management, couples therapy, and teen therapy. Talkspace's enterprise partnerships make it available as an employee benefit at many large companies.
