[See all reviews](https://www.talkspace.com/reviews) PausePlay  "It was my first experience with therapy 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.” Sal talkspace member  “I didn’t realize how much anxiety impacted my life until I started medication, and it was the most transformative thing that I’ve ever experienced. As someone who had never seeked psychiatric help it has been really exciting to see how therapy and psychiatry blend together.” Sidney talkspace member  “Raising children the crises can feel like they can come up out of nowhere. It was really nice to know that there was a mental health professional, just who had my back and who always had something interesting and helpful to say, something that I could put into my toolbox.” Meghan talkspace member  “When I talk to my therapist I’m able to tell him things that I don’t really want to tell my mom, because I don’t want her to be upset. I’m able to tell him some of the things I overthink about and let them go.” Julie talkspace member  “My Talkspace therapist has really helped me manage stress just by being aware of what’s happening when I’m having a spiraling thought in my mind. It’s great to talk to somebody who really listens to you.” Evan talkspace member  “There were a lot of things that I was navigating as a first time mom. All of the hormones going back and forth, and my postpartum anxiety was like, really rough. My therapist really heard me and understood me. If you're ever feeling super-anxious, get yourself a therapist.” Darianny talkspace member  “One of the best things about my therapist is that she just lets me be me and we really work together. I think that we have the type of relationship where she knows I'm going to get off that phone and be the best person that I can be. It's been a really beautiful experience with her.” Natiah talkspace member  “When I started at Talkspace, it was because I knew I was really burnt out from work and very anxious. My therapist has always been super-supportive and very insightful and good at challenging the way that I think and view the world. It's always valuable to just know that you have that person.” Tara talkspace member  "It was my first experience with therapy 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.
