Teletherapy company Talkspace announced a new partnership with Amazon Health Services to make its mental health services more accessible to Amazon customers. Through this collaboration, individuals searching for terms like “family therapy” or “stress relief” on Amazon.com will be directed to Talkspace’s offerings. They will also be able to check their insurance coverage and employer or health plan benefits via Amazon Health’s webpage. Customers can quickly enroll and schedule therapy sessions through Talkspace's platform, accessing licensed therapists via audio, video, or chat within days.
This collaboration aims to streamline access to mental health services for Amazon customers, in line with Amazon’s broader mission of simplifying healthcare access. The initiative follows recent developments from Talkspace, including partnerships with the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) and collaborations with platforms like Wheel and Thirty Madison. Talkspace continues to grow its presence in virtual mental health care while expanding revenue, which saw a 29% year-over-year increase to $46.1 million in Q2 2024.
Talkspace's financial outlook remains strong, with significant revenue growth and a marked improvement in net losses compared to the prior year. The company’s focus on expanding partnerships and virtual care solutions, including behavioral health services for high-acuity needs, positions it as a leader in teletherapy services amid rising demand for accessible mental health support.
