What is therapy? At Talkspace, therapy is used as an umbrella term and refers to talk therapy, which is also known as psychotherapy. Under this plan, 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.
Even if you don't have benefits that cover mental health services, Talkspace is still more affordable than most in-person therapy. The average cost of a traditional in-person therapy session is $175 - $500 per session — a big departure from our plans!
If you choose to pay out-of-pocket, 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. You may save an additional 10-20% if you choose to be billed quarterly or biannually. For details on different payment and coverage options that might be available to you, visit Accepted Forms of Payment/Coverage.
Explore our three subscription options, each with different pricing below. Choose the one that best aligns with your needs! If you opt for a plan with live sessions, it includes up to 4 sessions per month. Please note that these sessions don't roll over to the next month, so booking early is recommended. If your plan doesn't include live sessions or if you want additional sessions, you can easily make the purchase during scheduling.

| Psychiatry |

What is psychiatry? 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 and prescribers do not offer talk therapy as part of their psychiatry treatment. You can, however, work with a prescriber in addition to maintaining your therapy subscription at Talkspace.
For additional information, please take a look at Talkspace.com/Psychiatry for more.
Payment for Talkspace Psychiatry is session-based. Our out-of-pocket cost for an initial evaluation session is $299 and follow-up sessions are $175 per session. Clients can schedule follow-up sessions directly with their Talkspace provider.
During the initial evaluation session, your prescriber will conduct a psychiatric evaluation. They'll ask you a series of questions to diagnose your condition and determine whether medication is necessary. If medication is deemed beneficial and is not a controlled substance, they'll be able to send the prescription to your chosen pharmacy. Additionally, they'll address any inquiries you may have and establish the cadence for follow-up sessions. For more information about the initial evaluation session, visit What is a Psych Evaluation.
For new clients, we offer the following bundle discounts if purchased during sign-up:
