Our take
Founded in 2012, Talkspace is one of the established names in the online therapy space, offering a unique, appointment-free approach to mental health support. By providing unlimited access to a network of healthcare professionals, the platform delivers a cost-effective solution to underserved individuals in need of therapy, making mental health services more accessible than ever.
As venture capital interest in digital behavioral health continues to rise, Talkspace faces increasing competition from startups like BetterHealth and Calmerry. However, its 2021 public offering and acquisition of relationship counselling platform Lasting have solidified its position as a leader in the telehealth space.
The company isn't slowing down though. As it continues to innovate, with the launch of Talkspace Engage - a portal designed to help HR teams foster workplace mental wellbeing and increase the use of available mental health resources. More recently, Talkspace expanded its reach to 9.5M military personnel and their families, further solidifying its commitment to making mental hearth care accessible to all.
