Help In Your Hand · for the anxious, by the formerly anxious

Help is only a click away.
Whether or not you want anyone to know.

Made for people with anxiety. By people who beat it — and trust us, it's worth the fight. One tap to a panic rescue, a private companion, and the practices that quietly brought us back to ourselves.

Take the first step

Taking the first step is the hardest part — and we want you to make it. Not a substitute for professional care. In crisis, call or text 988 (US, 24/7).

Why we built it

Built by people who beat anxiety — for the ones still in the fight.

We've sat where you're sitting. The 3 a.m. heart-pound, the grocery-aisle freeze, the shame of cancelling again. Everything in here is something that actually helped one of us — and it's worth the fight.

Panic Mode

One tap to a guided physiological sigh, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, DBT TIPP, or Claire Weekes acceptance. Offline-ready.

A companion in your pocket

Private by default. Trained to validate before it suggests, and to remember what actually helps you — no one else has to know you're using it.

Validated check-ins

PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, and PDSS-SR woven into onboarding — so the app learns the shape of your weeks.

Stanley-Brown safety plan

If things get heavy, a structured plan and 988 are one step away — never red, never alarming.

New · for the heaviest things

A private place to put down what you've been carrying.

Childhood things you've never said out loud. A secret. The way today felt. Pour it in. A trauma-informed companion will acknowledge the pain, hand you back a fresh perspective, and lay out a 6-month path toward the life on the other side of it.

Open the Unburden room Nothing is saved. Nobody else sees it.
What you'll get back
  • 01I hear you. Your pain, reflected back honestly — not minimized, not rushed.
  • 02A fresh perspective. The strengths the child who survived this quietly built.
  • 03Life on the other side. A real, sensory picture of what's waiting after the work.
  • 04A 6-month path. Month-by-month, evidence-based, with a therapist on the team.

The science

Quiet on the surface. Rigorous underneath.

Every practice in Help In Your Hand traces back to peer-reviewed work or a clinical manual we cite in-app. We tell you who said what, and why we trust it.
