Lea therapy chatbot

Lea is an AI companion for the everyday emotional load: anxiety, stress, low mood, shaky self-esteem. It is made by Lea AI, LLC, which also ships it as an app on the App Store and Google Play; the Telegram bot gives you the same conversation without installing anything. You write about what is going on, and Lea answers in the manner of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), helping you notice thought patterns, name feelings and choose a small next step.

What sets it apart in this category is the route beyond the chatbot. According to the app's store listing, unlimited chat with Lea costs $5.99 a month once the free first messages run out, and separate paid consultations with a human therapist are sold for $12.99 to $19.99. That gives you somewhere to go when talking to an AI is not enough.

The store listing names English and Spanish among its languages, and the support account in the bot's bio, t.me/leahealth, also lists Portuguese. The company's website links to that support account rather than to the bot itself, so the bot is not marked official here. Lea is a self-help tool, not a clinical service: if you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line.
