THE PROBLEMS
Financial Barriers to Care
Traditional therapy sessions range in rates from $100 to
$300 per session depending on the market.
The Cost
While some groups do accept insurance it can be difficult
to find these groups and there is often a wait list.
Insurance Complexities
Many clients simply cannot afford therapy at all or cannot
afford long term therapy to help resolve their issues in a
lasting way.
Lasting Care
Additional Barriers to Care
Typically, therapy only occurs one hour a week and the
therapist is rarely available after hours.
Therapy that fits into your schedule, when you need it,
where you need it, is difficult to come by.
Apps such as BetterHelp and TalkSpace offer some
reprieve but are still costly and in general do not offer the
same outcomes.

Reduces stigma by making it a private experience on
your phone. Only you know that you are getting help and
you are in control of who you share your journey with.
Nothing is more accessible than an app on your phone.
A nominal monthly fee is far more affordable than
weekly therapy.
The app is available when and where you need it,
creating an environment of immediacy removing all
barriers in your way.
