Talkspace expanded its network of virtual behavioral health services to be in-network with Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, bringing its full range of virtual behavioral health services to eligible BCBSRI members.

A leading provider of virtual mental health care, Talkspace provides convenient access to high-quality, evidence-based therapy, psychiatry, and self-guided support. The Talkspace network of 5,000+ licensed clinicians includes therapists and psychiatric providers with specialized knowledge of more than 150 conditions and treatment approaches. Founded in 2012, Talkspace pioneered message-based therapy, fulfilling an unmet desire of many people to text with a therapist, any time, from anywhere. We have grown into a single destination for comprehensive mental health care, including specialized therapy for individuals, couples, and teens, psychiatry and medication management, and self-guided tools and resources. All care is delivered through our fully-encrypted web and mobile platform that meets HIPAA, federal, and state regulatory requirements. More than 130 million people have access to Talkspace through their health plans for the cost of a copay or free through their employer, college or university, school district, or government agency. Making high-quality mental health support available to all is the Talkspace mission, and we’re just getting started.
