Talkspace’s stock price surged by more than 13% premarket after announcing a partnership with Amazon Health Services. The collaboration aims to improve access to online therapy for Americans. Talkspace is the first virtual behavioral health provider to join Amazon’s program, allowing users to utilize existing mental health benefits easily through Amazon’s platform.

By leveraging Amazon’s platform, Talkspace can reach a wider audience and raise awareness of mental health benefits. Users searching for terms like “stress relief” can easily discover their Talkspace eligibility. CEO Jon Cohen called the partnership with Amazon a pivotal moment in their mission to provide mental health care to Americans, giving access to over 5,000 licensed therapists.

Eligible Amazon customers can explore Talkspace’s offerings on the Amazon Health webpage, sign up, get matched with a therapist, and schedule sessions. Aaron Martin, VP of Healthcare at Amazon, stated that the collaboration simplifies the journey to better health by helping customers easily access mental health benefits and connect with licensed therapists quickly.
