Counseling and Mental Health Support
Not that long ago, mental health was a taboo topic steeped in social stigma. Those with mental health issues suffered in silence. Millennials and Gen Z began changing that paradigm, raising awareness of the need for mental health support and helping diminish the stigma attached to seeking help.
Then along came COVID-19, accelerating awareness and acceptance of mental health support as the pandemic did for many other developing social and business trends.
At Espyr, we’ve recognized the shortcomings of many mental health programs and have continually evolved our product portfolio to provide greater accessibility, immediacy and better outcomes. Here are some examples of how Espyr is leading the way in mental health innovation.
- TalkNow® provides immediate support via smartphones, no appointments necessary.
- Myndful™ combines immediacy technologies with mental health counseling to provide greater accessibility and reduce the stigma often preventing people from accessing the help they need.
- Realyze® is a proactive approach that leads to greater engagement and better outcomes, while helping organizations reduce their overall healthcare expense.
- Our newly-enhanced mobile app gives users a more convenient way to access services and resources.
- TESS is our AI-powered chatbot that delivers proven, cognitive-based therapy via text 24/7
Of course, we also offer traditional (but very comprehensive) Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and Student Assistance Programs (SAPs).

- Wellbeing Screenings are periodic screenings that can identify employees in the early stages of a mental health issue, ensuring they receive the help they need before the issue grows into something more serious.

Technology –
Optimizing the Delivery of Compassionate Care
No matter how advanced technology becomes, good healthcare will always depend on people. The interaction between those needing help and the trained, compassionate professionals who care for them simply cannot be replaced. Technology, however, can make the healthcare experience more accessible, more convenient and more effective. Espyr offers a variety of industry-leading technologies to empower our coaches, our counselors and our members – enabling better outcomes.
Espyr Mobile App
Our new, enhanced mobile app gives users an ever-growing list of services and convenience features. Here are some of our newest features:
- Video Chat– Users can talk to a provider face-to-face via our secure, confidential, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
- TalkNow®– Now enabled in our app, the TalkNow platform gives members immediate access to a coach or counselor via talk or text – no appointments, no waiting.
- Online Scheduler– Makes setting appointments with coaches or counselors easy and convenient so members can get help faster.
- Provider Directory– Easy to search, this directory helps users find coaches or counselors who specialize in their subjects of concern and are conveniently located.
- Personalized Content– Based on user need and preferences, the app provides articles to help people stay on track, and reminders on everything from hydration to meditation.
- Interactive Self Assessments– These tools help users increase self-awareness of any mental health, anxiety, stress or alcohol abuse issues, and send them to the appropriate resources for help.
TESS
Tess is a mental health chatbot that coaches people through a variety of stress or mental health situations by having text message conversations – similar to texting with a friend or coach. You don’t even need an app; just dial Tess’ phone number.
Although AI-based (Artificial Intelligence), Tess is built by clinical psychologists using real conversations to deliver proven cognitive-based therapy 24/7/365 when a coach or counselor is not needed or not available.
Research has shown that chatting with Tess led to significantly reduced symptoms – averages of 28% less for depression and 18% less for anxiety.
Wellness Checkpoint®
The Dynamic Lifestyle Assessment Tool
Wellness Checkpoint’s dynamically tailored, confidential assessment helps people understand how lifestyle choices influence both their current and future health. Based on the assessment, Wellness Checkpoint provides clear, personalized and visually engaging reports with actionable information.
The cornerstone of the program is the Personal Dashboard, which provides users a host of at-a-glance information, including:
- Personal lifestyle risk status
- Future risk indicators
- Recommended priorities for lifestyle actions
- Setting goals
At the enterprise level, however, Wellness Checkpoint helps identify any at-risk members, allowing organizations to reach out to provide help before small problems become bigger ones, significantly reducing your overall healthcare costs.
