      Dont waste your *** benefits on TalkSpace. I asked repeatedly to not be matched to a religious/spiritual/higher power based therapist. Yet, that was all support matched me to.Honestly, if a mental health company cant FULLY understand how traumatizing religion can be for some people (6 years of *************** for me) then Im wondering what they are even doing pretending to help people?Please hire therapists with a better understanding of what unconditional positive regard actually is.

      If I could give 0 stars I would. This site fraudulently charged me a cancelation fee for an appointment I attended with the Psychiatrist, went through the whole session and even had session notes. They charged me **************************************************************** behind on my bills, which can be devastating in this economy. They refused to give me responses in a timely manner and believe that only having an email address as their only means of contacting customer services is efficient. They wrongfully stole money from me and I will not be silenced. I will be getting my money back one way or another, but I will NEVER give this company my business again and will make sure EVERYONE knows what kind of company they are dealing with before they sign up for Talkspace services.

      Hi there,


      I understand how frustrating it is when you are billed unexpectedly, and I was more than happy to take a look at this problem for you. It looks like you reached out to us on 04/**/2023 in regards to a no show fee that was charged for $175. It looks like one of our teammates reached out to you on 04/**/2023 and refunded that charge back to you. 


      I understand how frustrating it is that you cannot give us a call or chat with us live at this time, and I appreciate that feedback. I am going to pass that feedback along to the proper team to ensure that we investigate alternative options to receive support.

      Date of transaction:4/** Amount paid: $125. I ended up having an issue with my connection and no notification was sent to me from the cite with the exception of an email that I had no access to. I immediately emailed the support team explaining the situation after the missed appointment and received No response from business Promised that I would pay $0 for therapy sessions because they took my insurance.Even if I did miss the appointment Ive contacted the company multiple times and no one has gotten back to me super unprofessional and i see why they have horrible reviews. This company is terrible doesnt care to provide good client experience and I need someone to get back to me they are ridiculously overpriced and my insurance covers them. Scam artists at best

      I was scammed by Talkspace. The therapist told me my copay was $0 and my insurance would cover 100% of my sessions. I was skeptical but went along with it. The app also showed $0 for sessions and I was pleasantly surprised. Nowhere it said I would need to pay more unless I didn't show up or failed to cancel 24 hours ahead. Also, the app asked for all my insurance information upfront even before I met my therapist. A month later I was billed for the two sessions I'd had. I simply received an email from talk space saying my card would charged $250 and it sure did charge me on that same day! Thankfully I hadn't scheduled the next appointment due to availability but now that I know it's a scam, I will not return. Hoping others don't get scammed, too.

      Horrible customer service. Overpriced with extremely inexperienced counselors. They make it incredibly difficult to try to cancel or delete your service. Cannot believe this company is still in business.

      If you are seriously considering doing business with Talkspace, do yourself a favor and read this and the other feedback that others have left. The negative commens about Talkspace's customer service are, based on my own experience, absolutely true. Talkspace's customer service is probably the worst that I have ever encountered. Due to an administrative error, Talkspace charged my credit card for 2 therapy sessions, that should have gone thru my insurance (and would have been paid 100%). Now, they refuse to correct the billing. They ignore my emails. What's more, they refuse to speak with me about it. It's practically impossible to reach anyone at customer service (live) at the company. There is no real-time support. As a consequence, I've had to file a dispute with my credit card company. I've also had to discontinue my therapy with Talkspace. I would recommend that anyone needing such services look elsewhere.

      Predatory and misleading billing practices. They received my insurance information when I applied for services and said it covered everything with no co-pay. I participated in 2 sessions 2 weeks apart, and immediately after the 2nd session, Talkspace said insurance didn't cover anything and charged my credit card $250. Why did they initially say insurance covered everything? Why didn't they run insurance after the first session -- because then I never would have signed up for a second session? It seems the initial cost of services was intentionally misleading.

      One of the worst business experiences I've ever had. I tried for 8 weeks to get their useless support team to give me an itemized copy of my superbill for submission to ***. I would get an email response asking for dates, I'd provide this same information over and over and get told it was being sent to "billing" and then never hear anything. One of their support reps was very rude to me and said "stop putting in tickets, it's not helping you!!" As of today, I have 5 tickets submitted and no resolution. The fact they cannot complete a task as simple as providing a superbill of what you paid out of pocket, even though they advertise they do this is misleading behavior. The quality of care was garbage, I had one therapist who never spoke during our session except at the end where her sage advice to me was to go post a *** ***. Another therapist didn't bother to show up and then was rude to me when I messaged her about it. Switching providers is a joke, I requested a female therapist and kept being continually matched to a male provider. Or you'd be matched with someone after you requested video meetings and be told, "oh sorry, it's the app, I only do text therapy." The ** on the site is terrible you are forced to review providers you aren't even able to see due to scheduling challenges. I had one woman tell me she only sees clients at 7 am or 8 pm. Overall a crappy experience. The providers often bemoan the poor site experience, never a good sign when your assigned provider is complaining about the app you are using.

      this app is such a scam, first, they tell you they accept insurance, and make you do all this running around calling your insurance to make sure things are covered. After speaking with Talkspace customer support which btw THE SLOWEST CUSTOMER SUPPORT EVER, THEY TAKE DAYSSS TO RESPOND. Received an email in DEC stating I was covered and good to go. I completed two sessions, in my other sessions my therapist was a no-show. On February **** I receive a bill for $82.00 stating my insurance did not cover etc. I paid it because at this point I was canceling this service. I emailed Talkspace and asked to delete my account and all of my information. They stated they would keep therapy notes blah blah blah for state purposes fine. I don't care. well well, what do you know on 3/16 my card gets charged $125.00 for a supposed session I had BACK IN FEBRUARY!. huhhhhhh .. I emailed them on 3/** its now 3/** no response. You can't just charge people's cards without their consent. how do you even still have my card on file? ridiculous. Doing everything I can to get my money back.

      I had an appointment on 02/26/2023 at 12 noon. My counselor did not even show up. Talk about being beyond frustrated with the lack of professionalism. I feel as if I was abandoned and harmed.
