Who We Are and Why We Built This
Dzeny was founded with a simple but urgent belief: mental health support should be available to everyone — not just those who can afford $150-per-session therapy or wait three weeks for an appointment.
What started as a conversation between a small group of psychologists, engineers, and people who had personally struggled to find timely emotional support, grew into something bigger. We saw a gap between the millions of people dealing with anxiety, burnout, and low mood every day — and the limited, expensive, and often inaccessible care that existed for them.
So we built Dzeny. Not as a replacement for human therapists, but as a bridge — a way for anyone to access evidence-based emotional support the moment they need it, at a fraction of the cost.
Since our launch, Dzeny has supported over 50,000 people across the world, completing more than 2 million sessions. We've grown from a small founding team into a full team of AI engineers, clinical psychologists, and mental health researchers — all united by the same mission we started with.

There's no shortage of mental health apps. Here's what makes Dzeny different.
Dzeny was developed in collaboration with licensed clinical psychologists, CBT specialists, and medical doctors. Every feature — from the conversation flow to the exercises — is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic frameworks, not guesswork.
Mental health doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Dzeny is there at 2am when you can't sleep, on your lunch break when the anxiety spikes, and everywhere in between. No appointments, no waitlists, no cancellation fees.
You don't need to share your real name to start. All sessions are end-to-end encrypted, and your data is never sold or shared with advertisers. What you tell Dzeny stays with Dzeny.
A single session with a traditional therapist costs $120–200. Dzeny's annual plan works out to $8.33/month — giving you unlimited support for less than the price of one conventional session. Your mental health shouldn't be a luxury.
Dzeny isn't just a chatbot running scripts. It's shaped by thousands of real therapy sessions, continuously refined with input from practicing psychologists and APA guidelines. It listens, adapts, and gets better at understanding you over time.
From your first session, Dzeny builds a picture of your specific situation, patterns, and goals. The CBT exercises, meditations, and check-ins you receive are tailored to what you're actually going through — not a generic wellness playlist.
