We are a dedicated online-based team of consultant therapists, cognitive behavioral therapists, practitioners and support staff that collaboratively works to help people in need of emotional support.

Our whole operation is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is one of the most commonly used psychotherapeutic approaches for treating mental health problems. CBT helps you to identify, challenge and overcome your dysfunctional thoughts, behavior and emotions. Our "raison d’être" is to help people get happier, wherever you are in the world.

By signing up for our services, you will have full access to our online therapy program, that is divided into 8 sections. Each section includes all the information and hands-on tools that you need to identify, challenge and overcome your problems. The sections are available as video (guided by Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, PhD), audio and/or text. Your subscription also includes daily contact with your therapist (Monday-Friday), your daily journal and activity plan, yoga & meditation videos and tests to see your progress.

You will have unlimited communication with your therapist through messages and the worksheets in each section. If you have a standard or premium subscription, your membership also includes one 45-minute live session per week (two sessions per week if you have the premium subscription). The live sessions are available as video, voice only or text chat. For the full details click here »

This is a very individual choice that depends on your needs and preferences. Some clients spend several hours per day on their program, while others feel that a few hours per week is sufficient. It is important to remember that you have had your whole life to learn and unconsciously process negative behavior. It will take time and considerable practice to reprogram your frame of mind.

It really depends on your situation. However, we recommend that you use our services for at least one month in order to have time to process everything. Some clients just need guidance from the program and therapist for a few weeks to get back on the right track. However, others need more ongoing help and stay with us for about a year.
