Who are independently-contracted providers?

The majority of Talkspace therapists are independently contracted providers who control their caseload and schedule. There is no minimum/maximum number of hours that you are expected to work per week. Your caseload and client engagement will determine how many hours you work. Talkspace asks that you set your availability to respond to clients 5 days a week (your preferred days) at least 1-2 times per day. These daily responses can occur either during the morning, afternoon, or evening.

Training is done on the job, you will complete self-guided training courses, including Getting Started at Talkspace, which outlines platform basics, and Managed Care at Talkspace, which prepares you to accept Behavioral Health and EAP clients. Other resources, such as our Provider Manual and Provider Help Center, are always available for reference. We also have a Provider Support Team dedicated to assisting you and answering your questions, and a Clinical Consultation Team who are expert providers available for daily drop-in support sessions.
