Romantic relationships – regardless of age, sexual orientation, or any other of a number of factors – are difficult. They all go through “rough patches,” but a major breach of trust or sense of distance are sometimes difficult to overcome. Sometimes, one partner may want a deeper insight as to the other partner’s mindset – even premarital counseling can improve a marriage (or long-term relationship), before it starts.

Talkspace (an app founded in 2012) can provide this at a distance, believe it or not. More beneficial, this can be done in one’s home or even in the car (preferably not whilst driving!). The comfort level of this can’t be underestimated in terms of counseling, period, let alone marriage counseling. Read more

Talkspace’s benefits don’t stop there – in-office counseling starts at $100, and goes up from there, whereas Talkspace’s rates for $89 or $99 a week.

The founders of Talkspace are, in fact, a married couple, who felt that counseling did so much for their relationship that they wanted everyone to share those positive experiences. They identified three core issues people had with counseling of all kinds: cost, access, and stigma.

Whereas stigma is something societal that takes activism and communication to prevent, cost and access are factors that can easily deal with – their programs are low-cost, and can literally be accessed anywhere – perfect for those in more rural areas or with complicated lives.

As mentioned earlier, relationships are difficult. They require work. Sometimes they need more effort than the partners involved can apply, and the relationship can be better for it, in the end.

At any time, any place, Talkspace offers video, audio, and even chat messaging services so that they may better assist their patients. If a relationship needs work, Talkspace is there for you.
