      Literally can't cancel the plan! My son had a bad experience with his first ********* there (she didn't show to the meeting). He also had trouble signing in, but we were eventually able to get it figured out. I want to cancel, but they won't let me! My son's a minor, so I can't have access to his "account". I signed up with MY email to pay, but his email for him to have privacy with the *********. Anyway, NEITHER of us have access to the billing. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE

      I have had a horrible experience on this platform. To start, there are very few therapists available who match my preferences and scheduling needs. And those that are available are not qualified. One therapist told me in my second 30 minute session with her that I cared too much about my job and that no one at my work cared if I lived or died so I should stop caring. As someone struggling with severe depression and self worth issues, this was not only an insensitive and cruel thing to say but even dangerous. How can a therapist tell their patient no one cares if they live or die?! What if I were sucidal? She basically just told me I might as well kill myself... I left a review for her but rather than get any response from Talkspace, the therapist herself sent me a message telling me ********* was clearly not what I liked and so I should just change therapists if I had such a big problem with it. Seriously?! Where is Talkspace's quality control to prevent these so-called therapists on their platform from doing patients harm.After 4 months of trying to find a different provider, I finally got matched with a new one (***** ******) who is apparently a hypnotherapist, not a real therapist. I looked her up offline and she does not have actual qualifications and has no business being on ********* as a therapist. I have been using Talkspace for 6 months now, or trying to - and it has become clear that this platform is a waste of time and money. I have tried to contact corporate for assistance in find a better provider because their platform is difficult to navigate and was told they can not help me.

      I had an exceptional therapist, but unfortunately I wont schedule with her again. I was informed by email that I was being billed for my sessions full amount, when previously I only had a $10 copay. The billing department intentionally does not have a phone line. They will only communicate with you via email and most of their responses are scripted and repetitive. They intentionally submit insurance claims incorrectly, then ignore correspondence with insurance providers. Talkspace finds it easier to charge patients without warning rather than wait for insurance reimbursement. I was charged so many times by Talkspace, that I had to cancel my credit card and report fraud. Interestingly though, a quick ****** search will supply the cell number to the Talkspace CEO. They do seem to be a bit more attentive when you call them personally. However, they still wont refund you. I have never had the displeasure of tolerating a more dishonest, criminal company. Another class action lawsuit should be filed against them for their billing practices.

      I'd rather not offer any stars. As of now $236 have been stolen by Talkspace after subscribing to a therapy package and never once talking to a therapist. After stealing my money I tried for over 3 weeks to discuss how or why such things can occur. Ive never received an answer whether I call, email, ect. Then after receiving emails and texts offering "deals" I asked Talkspace politely the first time to please stop sending emails and texts if we cannot have an adult discussion as to why my $236 subscription was not full filled. The emails and texts never stopped and as of yesterday I stayed if you (Talkspace) contuines to contact me I will file a complaint with the BBB as harassment. Be very careful in dealing with these people at Talkspace. They in my opinion are predators seeking vulnerable people (including myself) that need help and steal their money.

      This is by far the most difficult company to receive any kind of billing support. They claimed a provider was out of network and when this was proven wrong, they still will not submit the claims to the insurance company for payment

      Let me be clear that I am reviewing the platform and customer service, not the therapists. I took a break from Talkspace for a bit and recently decided to go back. Upon requesting a messaging session with a new therapist, I thought I was good to go. However, I am now stuck on the "book an appointment" page and cannot get past that. It is not a technical glitch with my computer, as I've tried different browsers, playing with pop-**** I've tried my phone vs. computer, etc...The same thing happens time and time again. I cannot access my messages from my therapist and have been getting email notifications that I have messages waiting. So, I of course reached out to customer service and have received several communications that they are trying to figure out the root of the problem. It has been TEN days now and they have been unable to figure it out. For a healthcare service, I feel this is completely unacceptable to make a patient wait this long to receive services such as this, all because of a tech issue on THEIR end that they do not seem to have the competence to figure out.
