Headspace Therapy review

Headspace Therapy brings licensed therapists into the meditation app many people already use. You tell Headspace where you live and which plan you have, and the site shows the typical cost per session for each insurer, from $0 for some plans to $25 for others, with a ceiling of $149 depending on coverage and whether your therapist is in-network. It accepts insurance, FSA and HSA cards, or out-of-pocket payment. Sessions are by video, and you book or switch therapists in the app's Care tab. Therapists use approaches such as CBT, ACT and DBT and treat anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and relationship concerns. Between sessions you can use guided meditations, sleep content and Ebb, the AI companion, though those need a Headspace content subscription. The service covers individual therapy for adults only. Headspace does not publish a single self-pay rate on the pages we fetched, so its price is pending.
