Why Immersive Virtual Therapy and Support?
We need virtual therapy and mental health support services that are comfortable and engaging to use.
​
Accessibility: Our spaces can be accessed from your mobile device, computer and/or a virtual reality headset. With a wifi connection and a device, anyone can get the opportunity to express their feelings and get support.
​
Safe Space: Research shows the numerous benefits of using an avatar in a virtual environment. Digital representations of you can create a sense of comfort and allow you to safely express your feelings and experiences. One Australian study found that over 25% of people prefer to speak about negative experiences during therapy in virtual reality versus face to face.
​
Community: There is healing power in the numbers. Our growing community is a great place to connect with other people, build relationships and get the support you need to help improve your life.
​
More Engagement: Tired of standard virtual therapy and meetings? We all are. Studies show we are more actively engaged and better retain information in immersive environments.
​
Effectiveness: Avatar and virtual world cognitive behavioral therapy provided by licensed mental health professionals can be just as effective as therapy in real life.

Avid gamer and metaverse user. Experienced healthcare and technology entrepreneur. 1X Exit. 2X Founder. Living in the metaverse since 2004.
I’ve seen through family and personal experiences how the mind can be a double edged sword. I’m no stranger to mental health challenges with my family and friends. I always turned to online communities and without finding ways to improving my mental health and become resilient, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I know there are millions of us out there that want to live better, longer and have better relationships. I hope this space can be a stepping stone to that.
