How much is Talkspace?
Payment for Talkspace Psychiatry is session-based. Our initial evaluation session is $249.00 and follow-up sessions are $125.00 per session. Clients can schedule follow-up sessions directly with their psychiatrist. Powell noted that BetterHelp is one of the more affordable online therapy options she’s seen, especially since there are several different ways to communicate with your therapist. Prices range from $60 to $90 a week, depending on how many live sessions you want to schedule. You’ll be billed monthly. This depends on your caseload. On average, Talkspace therapists carry a caseload of 25-35 clients. You’ll be expected to spend about 10 minutes a day per every client check-in. Talkspace therapists are available five days a week. Response time from counselors is similar to other platforms. In general, users can expect a response from their counselor within four to six hours of sending a message. This policy is in effect twice a day, five days a week and does not include live sessions. Every Talkspace user has a secure, private “room” to communicate with their therapist. Post and reply to messages in your room 24/7 — no need to wait to get something off your mind. Your therapist will see your messages and can respond to you throughout the day. That said, when you compare the closest plans, BetterHelp is significantly cheaper at $80 per week than Talkspace at $129 per week (note that BetterHelp’s sessions range between 30 and 45 minutes long, while Talkspace’s are exactly 45 minutes long).
