“It was my first experience with online dermatology and it helped open me up, talking with my therapist about things that I haven’t talked with anyone else over the course of my life. You kind of immediately will feel like the weight of the world is off your shoulder.”
“I didn’t realize how much my skin was affecting my confidence until I finally started working with a dermatologist. Seeing real improvement in my skin has been incredibly transformative. As someone who had never sought professional skin care before, it’s been amazing to experience a treatment plan that actually feels personalized and supportive.”
“Managing skin concerns can feel overwhelming, especially when flare-ups seem to happen out of nowhere. It was really reassuring to have a dermatology provider who truly understood my skin, always offering thoughtful advice and treatments that actually helped me feel more confident and in control.”
“Talking with my dermatologist made me feel comfortable opening up about insecurities I usually kept to myself. I was finally able to discuss the skin concerns that affected my confidence every day and get real guidance that helped me stop overthinking and start feeling better in my own skin.”
“My dermatologist has really helped me feel more confident and in control of my skin. They always pay attention to what’s going on, especially during flare-ups or stressful moments, and it makes such a difference to talk to someone who genuinely listens and understands your concerns.”
“There was so much I was trying to manage with my skin, especially during hormonal changes and stressful periods. It really affected my confidence more than I expected. My dermatologist truly listened to me, understood what I was going through, and helped me find treatments that made a real difference. If your skin is impacting how you feel, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional care.”
“One of the best things about my dermatologist is how comfortable and supported they make me feel. We really work together to find what’s best for my skin, and I always leave appointments feeling more confident and hopeful. It’s been such a positive experience having someone who truly understands my goals and wants to help me feel my best.”

How much is HSAS, MD online therapy?
Talkspace makes online therapy convenient, accessible, and, also importantly, affordable. Cost depends on how you pay: through US health insurance, Medicare, EAP, employer, organization, or out-of-pocket. Many employers cover Talkspace for free, either directly with an employer code or through an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP). Most major health insurance plans cover Talkspace therapy, and if your plan does you’ll likely only pay a copay (typically $15). If you pay out-of-pocket Talkspace therapy plans begin at $69/week.
Does insurance cover online therapy?
Typically, yes. Talkspace is in-network with many major insurance plans, and most insured members have a $0 copay. Our extensive network ensures you can get the treatment you need without worrying about cost. So Talkspace therapy may be covered by your employer’s healthcare plan. Or you may receive it for free as a direct benefit from your employer. Coverage will depend on your insurance company and health plan.

Is online therapy effective?

A study conducted by Talkspace & the Journal of Telemedicine and e-Health showed that text-based therapy through Talkspace was highly effective and comparable to traditional therapy. Talkspace also generated greater satisfaction in terms of its delivery, accessibility, and affordability. With online therapy, you’re able to access a wider range of mental health professionals and receive high-quality, evidence-based care from wherever you are. Learn more with Talkspace research.
What is the difference between therapy and psychiatry?
Therapy and psychiatry can both play an important role in your mental health treatment plan. In therapy, licensed therapists work with you to discuss personal challenges and devise a personalized plan, but they aren’t able to prescribe medication. A therapist will help to understand your feelings, provide support, and help create a plan for the future.
Psychiatry is a medical specialty that prescribes and monitors medication to treat mental health symptoms. Psychiatrists and psychiatric providers are licensed medical providers who specialize in mental health treatment and can provide psychiatric care services and personalized medication management. Talkspace connects you with an online psychiatric provider within a week, for an evaluation, prescription, and ongoing care.
How do I get matched with a dermatologist?
After you answer a few online questions about your symptoms and preferences you’ll be matched with a therapist who is licensed in your state and who is likely to be a good fit for your needs. Talkspace therapists are a diverse group with a wide range of specializations. After receiving your personalized match, you’ll be able to communicate with your licensed therapist through text, audio, or video. If you don’t click with your therapist, it’s easy to switch.
