Talkspace offers therapy and psychiatry providers the ability to connect with clients via text, audio, and video messaging. As a therapist, you have the option to connect asynchronously. This means that your clients' messages do not require an immediate response; you always have the flexibility to process and thoughtfully engage on your own schedule. Depending on the client’s plan, we also offer Live Video sessions As a psychiatry provider, you can prescribe medication for your clients and engage with them through live video sessions. WHO ARE TALKSPACE CLIENTS? HOW DO I GET CLIENTS? Talkspace clients include employees seeking counseling through their organization’s benefits, individuals covered under by our insurance partners (Optum, Humana or Premera), and those who sign up directly through the platform. Talkspace matches you with clients based on state of residency, as well as your areas of expertise. We’ll always handle patient eligibility. HOW DO I BECOME A TALKSPACE PROVIDER? To start, submit your application (https://www.talkspace.com/join-our-network) online. Once your application is accepted, you’ll begin an “on-the job” training with a peer mentor for your first 4 weeks on the Talkspace platform. IS TALKSPACE EFFECTIVE?

In another, individuals who used Talkspace for only 2 months significantly improved symptoms of depression and anxiety.
