Online therapy in Spanish: where to find a Spanish-speaking therapist
Where you can choose a therapist or psychiatrist who speaks Spanish, where you can only ask, which services take insurance, what care costs without it, and the free lines that answer in Spanish. Every fact is from the service's own pages.
16 online services let you choose a Spanish-speaking clinician or ask to be matched with one, and 12 of them take insurance in network (Alma, BetterHelp, Circle Medical, Grow Therapy, Headway, LifeStance Health, Rula, Talkiatry, Talkspace, Teladoc Health (Mental Health), Daybreak Health and Two Chairs). Charlie Health, Headspace Care, MDLIVE and Brightside Health say their care is offered in Spanish or with a free interpreter. At 17 more, some clinicians speak Spanish but you have to ask. In a crisis: call 988 and press 2, or text AYUDA to 988, free, 24/7.

16 services where you choose or ask for a Spanish speaker
A language filter, a Spanish search page or a language you pick at sign-up comes first; then services that match you after you ask. Directories show each clinician's languages, so check the profile before you book.
Each statement links to the service page that says it.
Care offered in Spanish or with an interpreter
These services say their care is available in Spanish, or that a free interpreter joins your sessions, without describing a way to pick a Spanish-speaking clinician yourself.
Each statement links to the service page that says it.
17 services where some clinicians speak Spanish
Their own profiles or pages show clinicians who speak Spanish, but the service does not say you can choose one by language. Ask support, or note Spanish when you sign up, before you pay.
Each statement links to the service page that says it.
Spanish groups, programs and sites
Group therapy or a self-guided program in Spanish, or a Spanish-language site whose care itself is not said to be in Spanish.
Each statement links to the service page that says it.
