talktala therapy

I was skeptical of therapy this way but it so convenient and affordable Its really helped me I have a hectic schedule and theres no way I could speak w a counselor in person as often as I do in Talkspace                 Impressed

My therapist Bree Winkler was helpful in pin pointing my real needs tools advice on how to stay focused on what is really important how to reevaluate my circumstance to see it for what it really is                 Very helpful

doesnt even deserve one star but it was so disappointing it deserved a bad rating save yourself the trouble and dont download     Terrible

So convenient so helpful Im texting my therapist instead of waiting weeks to schedule an appointment plus cheaper than what I used to pay Thank you talkspace you rock                 Thank You

I downloaded the app easy and typed more info please A therapist engaged me almost right away explained the service and asked me questions because they match you with another therapist that has experience with your issues It costs for the service but it seems better for me than having to go to an office once a week So far great experience                 Great experience

It cost money after you do all the stuff To match you to a therapist it cost money Maybe I missed it in the beginning If I knew it was going to cost something from the start I woulda left it        Money

Finally something that helps people                 Fantastic service

Have the patience to stick with this app Know that its not free and its not 247 chat Your therapist is a real person who sleeps and needs to get paid Seems like a nobrained to me but wanted to respond to other reviews I saw on here Anyway Im obsessed with Shannon my therapist and I love that I can text her whenever We also video chat every few weeks I feel like its a good balance This app is especially good for me because I HATE making and going in to appts Im always late and always too tired after work to go to someones office and talk about my feelings So this is great I recommend                 Awesome idea awesome therapist

I lead a very busy lifestyle I work part time own 2 businesses and am currently trying to support myself post grad It is so great to have the opportunity to speak to a credentialed professional without having to waste gas or energy fighting through traffic My therapist is great at helping me practice mindfulness when dealing with my issues The talk therapy is very process oriented at a pace I am able to maintain with my crazy busy lifestyle and I couldnt be happier Or maybe I could be but meh                 Perfect for what I needed

This is a great resource Blythe is attentive and reads my posts to her thoroughly Some of the other reviews complained about the texting format But there are other ways You can log in online and post or you can record your thoughts and post Blythe will do both I can hear the compassion in her voice when she responds I used another service much like this and it could be days before he responded The last time was 7 days All he told me to do was find a hobby Which made me realize after almost two weeks he was not paying attention The cost is affordable compared to seeing a therapist in person I am better with writing than speaking which allows me to get my thoughts accurately depicted Plus I travel in my job and this is a great way to be able to relate Well worth the the opportunity to try                 Wonderful Format Like a Housecall

Really into the dedicated one on one relationship with Talkspace therapists Truly innovative and a less daunting way to get professional help Highly recommended                 If not for Talkspace I would have never tried therapy

I wouldnt even give this a 12 a star     Waste of time

Very comforting process to join understanding staff who led me to a therapist who is experienced and there for me virtually all the time I couldnt ask for more                 Excellent service and modern convenience

I wish I could give this 0 stars I spent TWO HOURS in this app just talking in circles with this guy who wasnt a therapist He just kept trying to push me to buy a plan The worst part is that they want 25 a week JUST for basic therapy If youre actually really depressed or if you have self harming thoughts theyll refuse to talk to you So basically if you feel anything more than just a little bit sad they wont help you There are FREE services on the internet thatll do exactly what this app will do which is basically just have someone go I see And how does that make you feel I could write an entire book on how worthless this app is but I wont Just trust me when I say do NOT use their services and do NOT pay them anything Its not worth it     Awful

What kind of personal productive therapy can be achieved with text messages Eye contact speech and human interaction speaks volumes Not texts This is pathetic     Seriously

This service is great Its so convenient and easy to use Yes it is 25 bucks a week but really worth it I spend more than that in take out You get matched to a therapist and txt them when ever you want Mine usually responds every evening But you can txt them through out the day Love my experience with TalkSpace and def recommend it                 Great idea

Wow Nothing like feeling you may get some help and receiving no response     Umm they dont respond

I am amending a negative review I wrote I was frustrated that I could not put in the 25 dollar discount code They immediately fixed it and have been very supportive Getting upset over the small stuff is something I want to improve so the whole situation made for a great first session I recommend Talkspace without reservation ps I think the reason for my upset is that my gutheart told me this was a good thing and my frustration about the discount code made me doubt that and my gutheart I definitely want to trust my instincts more which is a second topic I want to improve in therapy                 Excellent

If you like to read and write this is the therapy you want                 Best thing I have EVER done for myself

This is the real deal and my therapist has helped me more in the two months then years of previous one on one counseling Theres something freeing in being able to take your time and write what you are thinking and have the ability to look back on previous conversations Now that we can send video and pictures and audio this app is complete I will have it as long as it will have me                 Worth every penny

While possible to find in person therapy on a sliding scale if money is an issue this app does offer an affordable alternative if local therapists arent offering such deals Youre having the opportunity to talk to a professional daily for 100 a month Sometimes one session is that much or more This app has the potential to get help to a lot of people who cant afford traditional treatment or are otherwise not comfortable in a face to face setting It also depends on who you get as a therapist and how well they are able to adapt with this new way of treatment Im sure it has a fair number of detractors but if you are committed to sorting your problems out and the therapist is committed to you then this is most certainly better than no treatment at all Update To those complaining about being deceived by having to pay for therapy via this app I dont know where they are coming from At no time was I lead to believe that the therapy would always be free and I think thats a bit silly to expect The therapist gave me a free consultation clearly stated my options via the numerous pricing plans and I took it from there Youre talking to real therapists here and these people do have the right to get paid for their work I think the pricing is very reasonable and if the price for this is simply too much please consider a local support group in your community Although a group setting isnt always ideal the price is usually lower Overall Ive had a fantastic experience with my therapist and am eternally grateful for having this app to keep me in contact with her Shes helped me tremendously and Im confident this service will help many others in need out there as well                 Groundbreaking

This has helped me tremendously Much easier than seeing a therapist                 Amazing

Great app To be able to text my therapist wherever is so convenient Would definitely recommend to anyone else                 Mr

Self explanatory You are not told up front how expensive this app truly is Ive not been helped in any sort Im actually even less trustworthy thanks to this app Total failure     Bait switch

Ive been using Talkspace for over a month now and cannot be happier My therapist responds in a timely manner and always offers thoughtful and HELPFUL feedback It does cost money however it is much more affordable than going to a therapists office and so much more convenient                 Great Therapy

I give it the lowest are possible for a number of just reasons the way it presents itself it claims to be free therapy when in fact its not its somebody assisting you and then and then and wants money     What a waste of time to download

I dont know where to begin When I first downloaded this app and began texting with the first person I told her quite a bit about myself including why I downloaded it my hobbies things like that She in turn matched me up with an awesome therapist Yes I know I have to pay but to me its worth every penny I really love my therapist as well as being able to text any time I need to Ive found myself texting at 3 am because of things I was dealing with My therapist is downtoearth and very easy to talk to at least on here Ive always been able to express myself better by writing than by speaking By doing this Ive been able to tell her so much more than I told my previous 4 or 5 therapists combined Im so glad I found this app                 Awesome

Totally worth the money to have the help With my very demanding work family and trying to go back to school its hard to take time for myself Having access like this really is such a huge blessing                 Worth it

Hi to my therapist Thanks for everything for always being there for me                 Best app on my phone

For someone like me always traveling already accustomed to online communication Talkspace was a lifesaver They were able to set me up with someone who specializes in LGBT issues and honestly Lee is the best therapist Ive ever had                 Talkspace is GREAT

Great fit for me allows me to speak at my convenience to my therapist and I easily found someone who is well fitted to my issues                 Amazing and Needed

Saw a commercial for this app and my exact thought was where have you been most of my life and how am I just finding out about this now Just started but already pleased and MUCH cheaper than outside therapy                 Online Therapy

It was hard for me to get started and get the plan I wanted With my disability it may have been my bad but it was hard for me           Difficult to get started

They wont talk to you if your below 18 When they found out I wasnt 18 she was pretty much like we cant talk to you but bye And it costs money and he whole reason why I got it was because I cant afford a real therapist     Would give 0 stars if possible

Talkspace is great My therapist is awesome I think a lot of people that dont actually buy it leave stupid reviews                 Good service Affordable

Just to have a therapist available in this format is so freeing You talk when you want You get matched with a therapist based on an interview that ensures you have someone who gets you And it doesnt feel so formal so you get past that initial breaking in period with a new therapist much more quickly I also cant say enough about my therapist Kellyn She let me set my own pace and format She helped me make discoveries on my own And she helped me regain the confidence I had lost TalkSpace was a great experience and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who needs help over a rough spot in their road                 Worth the money and so much more

Ive been using this app for 3 months now and have made so much progress My assigned counselor is amazing and understanding and always available Just to be able to get your thoughts out when youre actually thinking of them instead of trying to remember them for over a week until the next appointment is so helpful I would definitely recommend it It seems like a lot at first but when you compare the attention you get through talkspace vs what you would pay for a traditional onceeverytwoweeks or once a month therapist its so worth it                 Fabulous

the therapist i met up with who was supposedly only a matchmaker was almost robotic in her responses and asked me NO questions for more details she also bluntly informed me that therapy is not free which i knew in normal circumstances but i thought since the app was free and did not mention mandatory purchases it was just thatfree no such luck and i currently do not have a debit cardand furtherwhy cant insurance pay them like normal therapy     matchmakertherapist too silent mandatory purchase on free app

This is a great program My counselor has helped me through a truly difficult time in my life I recommend this app to anyone who wants quality counseling                 So worth it

If you think youd benefit from talking to a trained professional but dont think you can find the time or money this app us a great way to start the process                 Great way to start therapy

Talking with an excellent therapist we have a great relationship and I completely trust her which I unfortunately cant say about my previous face to face therapist in NYC I get to talk to her every day sometimes a few times a day when I need it and the whole thing costs me 99 for an entire month compared with the 175 I used to pay for just one hour with my previous therapist I told all my friends about this if youre into therapy this is simply the best thing out there                 Been using talkspace for over 6 months and love it

Its nice to talk to a therapist online and not in person Maybe thats not the most healthy but at least Im getting therapy right I feel like I can be complteely honest about whats gong on with me and not be judged Its much easier to share your deepest fears and secrets when youre nt looking that person right in the eye I feel like weve made more progess than the other two therapists ive seen combined really good idea                 Innovative

I absolutely love it and its affordable They quickly matched me with someone who specializes in people with my certain disability I absolutely love Cynthia Wouldnt be the person I am if it wasnt for her                 Talkspace is GREAT

This app is one of the best things I have ever paid for I recommend to anyone that cant make time to go see a therapist to use this app                 Awesome

The app itself works as expected but what really sets it a part is the experience Love the therapist I was matched with and find it extremely easy to have chats with her via text I was worried about the texting at first but the passcode means it will be protected I would highly recommend this to all                 Wonderful experience

I could not be happier with my therapist and think the concept is great Awesome idea to make therapy affordable and easy for all thanks                 Doing Well Feelin Fine

Have struggled to find a therapist for a while I move around a lot so finding someone on location is a challenge Having someone to text daily is helpful because I am used to writing and texting to convey myself I do not recommend for someone who needs face to face interaction or has problems accurately describing themselves in writing or text                 Innovative self help

Said I was suicidal Instead of helping they said go somewhere else     Retarded therapist

I was skeptical about text therapy at first but my experience has been quite the opposite The therapists I have worked with are clearly trained and experienced and have been prompt available and empathic in responding                 Very Professional

The interface is responsive and attractive I feel like Im getting the sort of challenging therapeutic experience that Ive been looking for and unable to find even inperson The latest version has support for TouchId which provides an extra layer of privacy and convenience                 Fantastic therapy onthego
