Deepen

Much needed tool! There are many reasons why I would prefer AI over therapy, not just costs, but the types of requests I have: quick coaching, or advice on how to address a specific problem. That does not require a one hour session with the therapist. The app solves that beautifully! What I love the most about the app are two things: 1. the choice of the tone of voice, 2, the dashboad with insights! I think many people don't know themselves that much, and such dashboard helps to keep track of what was going on lately and what one can learn about self. Thanks to app creators and congrats on the launch! This is the future of therapy.

If your therapist gave you this as their privacy policy, would you still work with them? From https://blog.thedeepen.app/priva... (I've paraphrased the parts out that are concerning from a mental health provider standpoint) "2.1.

I tried Deepen, and I’m blown away by how heartfelt and thoughtful the answers were. Finding a therapist is hard because everyone has different communication styles. I love how Deepen considers that and immediately asks your preferences from the get-go, and quickly accommodates that. I love the idea behind this product and I wish the Deepen team all the best for their launch 😄
