Everything you need to know about Wellzy and AI therapy
Wellzy is a comprehensive mental health platform that provides free AI therapy, a professional therapist directory, wellness tools, and mental health resources. Our mission is to make mental health support accessible to everyone, 24/7, regardless of financial situation or location.
Yes! Our AI therapist is completely free and always will be. We also offer free access to wellness tools, mental health articles, therapy journal, and therapist directory browsing. There are no hidden fees, trials that convert to paid, or required subscriptions.
You can start using our AI therapist immediately without creating an account. However, creating a free account allows you to save your conversation history, use the therapy journal, and access personalized features. Sign up here.
Our AI therapist uses advanced natural language processing and machine learning trained on evidence-based therapeutic techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and positive psychology. It analyzes your messages and responds with compassionate, helpful guidance tailored to your specific situation.
No, and it's not designed to. Our AI therapist is ideal for immediate support, daily mental health maintenance, stress management, and as a bridge to professional care. For serious mental health conditions, complex trauma, or ongoing therapeutic work, we recommend connecting with a licensed therapist through our therapist directory.
You can discuss anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, work problems, self-esteem, grief, life transitions, and everyday mental health challenges. The AI provides coping strategies, emotional support, and practical advice for managing these concerns.
Research shows that AI-based mental health tools can be effective for mild to moderate symptoms, stress management, and building coping skills. Our AI therapist uses proven therapeutic techniques and many users report feeling better after using it. However, effectiveness varies by individual and situation.
Yes! Unlike human therapists who have office hours, our AI therapist is available any time, day or night, weekends and holidays included. Whenever you need support, it's there.
Absolutely. We use HIPAA-compliant encryption (AES-256) to protect all your conversations and personal information. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We follow industry-leading security practices and undergo regular security audits. Read our full Privacy Policy.
Your conversations are completely private. We never share your conversations with third parties, and even our staff cannot access your encrypted conversations without your explicit permission. The only exception is if we're legally required to (e.g., court order) or if there's an immediate risk of harm.
Never. We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information or mental health data to anyone. Your trust and privacy are paramount to our mission.
Yes. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings. This action is permanent and will remove all your conversations, journal entries, and personal information from our systems.
Use our therapist directory to search for licensed therapists near you. You can filter by location, specialty, insurance accepted, treatment approach, and more. Each therapist profile includes their qualifications, expertise, and contact information.
Yes. All therapists in our directory are required to be licensed mental health professionals in their state/country. We verify credentials before listing any provider.
No. Our directory helps you find and connect with independent, licensed therapists. The therapy sessions themselves are conducted by those professionals, not through Wellzy. You'll work directly with the therapist you choose.
Wellzy works on any device with a modern web browser - computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones (iPhone and Android). Simply visit www.wellzy.io and start chatting. We also have a mobile app available on the App Store.
No downloads required! Wellzy works entirely in your web browser. However, we do offer an optional mobile app for iOS for a more convenient experience.
No limits! You can have as many conversations as you need, for as long as you need. There are no usage caps or restrictions on the free AI therapist.
