Valence – Understand your emotions. Support your process. Your space between therapy sessions, or your starting point if you don't have a therapist yet. A mental health app designed with psychologists to make self-awareness a daily habit, not a once-a-month event. If you work with a therapist, your process becomes continuous. If you don't yet, Valence helps you get started. Note: The download includes the initial questionnaire and a free trial. Full functionality requires a subscription (or linking with a psychologist who uses Valence). THREE WAYS TO PROCESS WHAT YOU FEEL Valence gives you structured tools for any moment of the day: Emotional journal Write down what is happening to you with guided prompts. Your entries are organized for you and, if you choose, for your psychologist too. Quick check-ins In 30 seconds, log how you feel: emotion, intensity, body sensation and what triggered it. Over time you build a map of your patterns. Anxiety journal Structure anxious thoughts with a cognitive-behavioral therapy framework: cause, evidence, action. Turn rumination into clarity. KNOW YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE When you start, a questionnaire designed by psychologists gives you a profile across eight dimensions: - Emotional intensity - Reflectiveness - Openness to change - Emotional autonomy - Structure - Connection with others - Voice and expression - Clarity of purpose You get a psychological archetype, a list of strengths and points to watch. It is your starting map. V-ALLY, YOUR AI COMPANION V-ally is a conversational bot available 24/7 to be with you when you need to vent and don't want to wait for your next session. - Talk to it by chat inside the app - It helps you sort your thoughts and process difficult emotions - It learns from your profile and how you have been feeling - If it detects a crisis situation, it raises an alert to your psychologist - It does not replace therapy: it complements it between sessions CONNECT WITH YOUR PSYCHOLOGIST If your therapist uses Valence, everything syncs: - You receive an invitation code and link up in seconds - You decide which entries are private and which your psychologist sees - Your psychologist walks into each session with real context: how your week went, which topics came up, where there was intensity - Schedule sessions from the app - Built-in video sessions, with optional recording to review later - Free access to the app while you are linked VALENCE IS FOR YOU IF... - You are in therapy and want to get more out of every session - You don't have a therapist yet but want to start understanding yourself - Your psychologist recommended the app - You are processing anxiety, grief or a difficult stage - You want a journal with clinical structure, not a blank page WHY VALENCE - Designed with psychologists - Made for Latin America, in Spanish and English - Privacy: what you record is seen only by your linked therapist, if you have one - If you have a therapist, it gives you a living process between sessions. If not, it gives you structure to get started Pricing and Access An active subscription is required to access the main features (unlimited journal, daily check-ins, anxiety journal, unlimited V-ally, video sessions, sync with your psychologist).
