Why Talkspace? 

Talkspace is the world’s leading online therapy company, serving over 2 million users looking to begin their wellness journey through tele-health.

Additionally, one-third of the world’s population – 2 billion people – live in countries that spend less than 1% of their health budgets on mental health. Therapy is an universal need and it's our mission here to change the world by cultivating an intentional space for people to feel supported through quality care that is simple and accessible.
