With over 1 million clients served and 10 million+ sessions delivered, Grow has built trust the old-fashioned way – one session at a time. Now with the Grow Therapy app, your care can move with you. Because life doesn’t pause between sessions, and now, neither does your care. The support you need.

No hidden fees * All-in-one care: Therapy and medication support in one place Say hello to coach At the heart of the Grow app is coach, a conversational AI tool built specifically to support your mental health between sessions. With more than one-third* of Americans already comfortable using AI for mental health support, we wanted to build an alternative that keeps a clinician’s expertise and training front and center. Most AI tools aren’t designed for therapy and they don’t integrate with your provider. We built coach to be different. Grow’s coach is an AI-powered, guided support tool built with clinical input, privacy, and safety at its core. It’s designed to help you reflect, build on your sessions, and keep growing between visits. Grow’s coach is fine-tuned to complement your care, not replace it, working in alignment with your provider and care plan, never independently. Do the work with your therapist. Practice it between sessions with coach. The Grow App: Stay connected and supported—anytime, anywhere. Book and join sessions, message your provider, and grow between visits with guided support, reflection, and practice from coach. Here’s what you can do in the app: * Book and join sessions in one tap * Message your provider anytime, securely * Use pre-session check-ins and post-session tools to stay on track * Get guided support between sessions with coach * Access handouts, worksheets, and therapy tools * Track your progress with session insights and reminders * Manage therapy and medication in one place The Grow app brings therapy into real life. Whether you’re prepping for a session, navigating a tough moment, or reflecting on progress, your care stays with you, wherever you are. Feeling better starts easier at Grow. Download Grow Therapy and take the first step. Note: coach is available to eligible clients in select U.S. states. Grow’s coach is AI-powered and designed to support you between sessions. It doesn't replace therapy, isn't monitored in real time, and isn't a crisis tool. Grow’s coach is not a replacement for any medical diagnosis or treatments; likewise, it cannot, and does not intend to, provide medical advice or diagnosis. If you’re in a crisis or emergency, call 988 or 911. CONNECT WITH US! We’re always happy to hear from you!

About

I have ADHD, and I have started more habit apps than I can count. Every one of them worked for about a week. Then I would open the app to fifteen half-finished habits, feel bad about it, and stop opening the app at all. So I built the one I actually needed. BetterADHDay is not a magic fix. It is a simple system that fits the way an ADHD brain tends to work, and it is honest about what it can and cannot do. Start with one habit You do not get to add fifteen habits on day one. You start with one. You unlock room for more only after you have kept the first one going for a while. It sounds strict, but piling on too much at once is the fastest way to quit, so the app just does not let you. Prove it, do not just tap a checkbox It is easy to tap "done" on something you did not do. So you can back a habit up with real proof. Take a photo and the app checks that it actually shows what it should. Check in at a place like the gym or the park. Or run a focus timer that stops if you leave the app. Sometimes the timer is the habit. Some days just starting it is the whole battle. Rewards your brain actually notices Every habit you keep grows a plant in a small garden that becomes yours over time. There are streaks, streak shields for the days life gets in the way, and a reward calendar you can claim from. A plain checkmark never did much for me. This one actually does. When you miss a day You will miss days. That is not a character flaw, it is a Tuesday. You can spend an earned shield to save a streak, or set a vacation that pauses everything while you are away. No guilt, no counters resetting to zero to punish you. What you can track - Anything you want. Make your own habits or pick from suggestions. - Choose how each one is checked: a photo, a location, a timer, or just a tap. - See honest numbers: completion rates, your longest streaks, the times of day you actually show up. The app is in German and English. You can try everything free for 7 days. After that it is a subscription, and you can cancel whenever you want. If you have bounced off every other habit app, I understand. I built this because I was one of those people. Give yourself one habit to keep, and see what happens.
