No.<\/strong> TherapyFriend is not a licensed therapist, counselor, or mental health professional. It is an AI-powered emotional support companion<\/em>, designed to offer reflective listening, compassionate prompts, grounding tools, and self-inquiry practices.<\/p>\n

Think of it as a journal that talks back \u2014 kind, curious, and non-judgmental.<\/p>\n

If you’re in crisis or need professional help, please seek out a qualified therapist or contact your local emergency or support services.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is it faith-based?” icon_color=”#6b7d57″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#6b7d57″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

TherapyFriend is spiritually open and trauma-informed. It offers optional<\/strong> Christian reflections and prayers if that feels supportive to you \u2014 but always with gentleness and respect for your beliefs, your journey, and your pace.<\/p>\n

You are welcome here, wherever you are on the path.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is this AI safe to talk to?” open=”off” icon_color=”#6b7d57″ toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ open_icon_color=”#6b7d57″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Yes \u2014 within the scope of its design. TherapyFriend is built with OpenAI’s trusted language technology<\/strong> and hosted securely to protect your privacy.<\/p>\n

However, it is not infallible. It does not store<\/strong> your personal information after the conversation ends (unless you are logged in and choose to save interactions). It does not<\/strong> have memory of prior chats unless you start a new session within a logged-in space that allows for it.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve trained it to be compassionate, it\u2019s still just a tool \u2014 not a human being, not a replacement for therapy, and not capable of emergency care.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is my data private?” icon_color=”#6b7d57″ toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ open_icon_color=”#6b7d57″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]

We take your safety and privacy seriously. Conversations are encrypted in transit, and any optional memory features (for logged-in users) are used only to improve your continuity of care \u2014 not sold or shared.<\/p>\n
