Montgomery County Community College is the first community college in the nation to partner with Talkspace and offer online therapy for students to help them navigate these difficult times.

Talkspace is an online therapy service that uses its mobile app and web platform to connect students with dedicated, licensed therapists. At any time of the day, students can send texts, voice, or video messages to their therapists, who will engage with them daily, five days a week.

Participating therapists have an average of seven to ten years of clinical experience. They treat a wide spectrum of conditions, such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationships, PTSD, grief, addiction, and eating disorders, among many others.

The new service is offered to enrolled students at no additional charge.

“Campus uncertainty adds yet another dimension to the mental health crisis faced by students, nationwide,” said Mark Hirschhorn, Talkspace President and COO. “As Talkspace’s first community college partner, MCCC sets an example by giving students the reassurance that professional support will always be available to them when they need it.”

Dr. Victoria L. Bastecki-Perez, MCCC President, emphasized the importance of mental health and added that it is “critical to have resources such as Talkspace online therapy available for all students.”
