Between Sessions
Give your thoughts somewhere to go between appointments
PsychPal can help you organize thoughts and practice self-reflection, but it cannot assess your condition, provide therapy, create a treatment plan or replace a licensed professional.
Capture thoughts before they are forgotten
A lot happens between therapy appointments. Insights surface at odd hours, difficult moments pass before you can process them, and by the time you're back in the room with your therapist, the details have faded.
PsychPal gives you a private place to capture those thoughts — by text or voice — as they happen. Nothing is lost because you didn't have a notebook nearby.
Notice recurring topics
When you journal and check in regularly, patterns become visible over time. You might notice that a particular relationship, situation or time of week tends to come up. Bringing that observation to your therapist can make your sessions more focused and productive.
Prepare notes and questions for your therapist
Before your next appointment, review your journal entries and mood history from the past week. Identify the themes you want to discuss. Write down the questions you want to ask.
Arriving prepared helps you use your session time well — especially when sessions are infrequent or expensive.
Continue a reflection between appointments
Something your therapist said is still sitting with you three days later. PsychPal gives you a place to keep exploring it — to write, speak, and think it through — without waiting for the next appointment.
Find a therapist when you're ready
PsychPal includes a therapist-finding capability to help you locate professional support when you're ready for it. Please verify the current state of this feature in the app, as availability may change.
What PsychPal cannot do
- Assess your mental-health condition or diagnose a disorder.

When to seek professional or emergency care
PsychPal is not a substitute for professional mental-health care. Please seek professional support if you are experiencing significant distress, your symptoms are worsening, or you are struggling to manage daily life.
If you may be in immediate danger or need urgent help, call emergency services (911) or contact 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — in Canada or the United States.
