Amazing App & Service Esp. For ADHD - But Audio Can Improve

I love this app because I was previously using other therapists that required logins through their website portal. I had a difficult time remembering the URL for these sites and my password for logging in. I also often missed start times or sessions all together bc the reminders were only sent days in advance and not the moment of a session. This wasn’t working for me, a person with ADHD. Talkspace reminds be before the session date, on the session date, 10 minutes before the session, and the moment of the session. I have never missed a TS session bc of this feature!

Regarding the quality of the therapists… I have seen two different therapists at TS and they were both very pleasant. The first one was a “no show” to our second session and didn’t have a very clear strategy for the therapy in the first session, so I looked for another matched therapist. My second therapist is so amazing! She helps define the goal of each session and we dig right in! She doesn’t just listen like a good-listening friend, she has strategies for digging deep into the issues that are getting to a breakthrough. I am really lucky to have been matched with her on TS.

Talkspace could improve their audio! My therapist sometimes has a hard time hearing bc of the apps audio issues.

A few critical issues

I will start by saying that I have been with my therapist and talkspace for years now but there are a number of issues: the biggest one being, insurance being out of network but there’s no notification of that. I just recently discovered that my insurance is OON and I had no idea until Talkspace requested payments and i checked my insurance portal. This is a HUGE deal when it comes to treatment. I, myself work in healthcare as a utilization reviewer that works to get prior authorizations so I know the urgency of ensuring not only are patients covered but that it’s communicated when they are not. When you’re doing messaging sessions weekly which are being billed for and you don’t know that they’re not covered then that only increases the need for therapy…. An alert notification in app would help to notify patients when their benefit information has changed or a phone call.

Next, the glitches are pretty annoying. Having to restart the app essentially when it freezes and now with upgrading to a new phone it does not want to open with my FaceId then it just keeps trying to open itself and I have to swipe out of it, move my face away, and enter my passcode instead. I’ll have to see if I can turn off the FaceID to just use my passcode.

I love my therapist and don’t intend to leave her but this insurance issue is a big issue for me.

Extremely disappointed

I was initially matched with a therapist that specialized in a subject that I had no issues with nor did I specify I had issues with. I had to accept in order to try to change therapists, only one of which was female (which is what I wanted) so I had to accept that.. but I felt like I wished I had more choices to pick from. My therapist was nice. Very generic though, and didn’t know how to use the platform. Promised to email me something and never did. Red flags raised when she cancelled our second appointment together but we rescheduled in the same week. I really wanted routine and continuity… and I didn’t want to switch providers at this point after already going through a really tough first appointment. So I stuck with the same provider. Fast forward, she cancelled our 4th appointment, rescheduled it for two days later, then I waited on video and she never showed up and didn’t message til the next day with a pretty tepid sorry. I called (to no avail) and emailed Talkspace to share this and show my disappointment and yes I got a refund, but no apology for being treated as unimportant or uncared for. Talkspace was my therapist’s side gig so clearly not as important as her full time job which is fine if that’s ok with you. But it took its toll on me. Will not continue. To add insult to injury, the app is not very user friendly.
