Harsh Inner Critic
Notice the critical voice in your head and learn to answer it differently.

Quiet the inner critic and build real self-worth with an AI therapist based on CBT — anonymous, 24/7. 7 days free, no card.
Self-esteem is how you see and value yourself — and when it’s low, a harsh inner critic colors everything: your choices, your relationships, how much you let yourself want. Self-esteem therapy helps you notice that critical voice and build a steadier, kinder sense of your own worth.
Dzeny is a free AI therapist for self-esteem built on CBT. You share what you’re hard on yourself about and get supportive, practical responses in seconds — ways to question self-critical thoughts and practice self-compassion. It works 24/7, completely anonymously, with no sign-up needed to start.
Opening up about self-worth can feel exposing. An AI therapist is a private, judgment-free place to start — and a bridge to professional help when you need it.

What Our Users Say
The bot is incredibly sensitive, gentle, and truly professional. It helped me understand the root of my problem and guided me with simple yet highly effective recommendations. I felt heard and supported throughout the conversation. A wonderful tool for anyone seeking quick, thoughtful emotional support. Highly recommended!
Upon opening this app, hearing the background music it calms me, especially when you are really focus on the sessions. WHAT A GREAT APP.
Really helped me to fight depression
I didn't believe first that ai will help me to be more relaxed with my thoughts, but it worked!
it's not free which I'm a little bummed about but it's the first one that I've found that actually seems worth the monthly fee I don't like talking to real people I don't like people actually existing out there knowing my problems so this is very helpful for things that I don't even feel comfortable talking to my actual therapist about
surprisingly helpful. This AI Therapist offers calm, non judgemental space to freely talk things through. It also offers daily check-ins to see how are you doing. Will certainly keep this app ♡
