      I have been working at Talkspace part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      flexible schedule, work from home, decent number of referrals, really meaningful work and reaching clients that might not otherwise seek therapy

      Cons

      Pay is embarrassingly low. While they are increasing pricing in the future and compensation will also increase, there are no increases for therapists who have had long-term clients. Leadership does not answer questions but will direct you to search through disorganized materials to find the answer yourself. Therapists are expected to keep current on company policies which are ever changing.

      Advice to Management

      Doesn't it look a little sketchy that many of the positive reviews here are all written on about the same day?

      I have been working at Talkspace part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Convenient, flexible, professional, remunerative, and successful. I can make my own hours and accommodate clients who have heavy work schedules.

      Cons

      Therapy proceeds a little slower without face-to-face appointments, but 5 days/week of on-line contact produces about the same as one hour/week of face-to-face.

      Advice to Management

      As the company continues to grow, I hope you will keep the company tight enough for us to maintain on-line relationships with management staff. Right now we communicate easily and know the names of the staff; I hope it will stay this way.
