SelfSolace is an AI-powered mental health platform — founded in Detroit in 2025 by Jenna Hage-Hassan, Megan Ortega, and Ryan LaPensee — that delivers what it describes as structured, evidence-based therapy to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Built on clinical psychology and advanced AI, the platform offers personalized, continuous care through interactive therapy sessions and self-guided tools, according to the founders. It’s designed to bridge the global treatment gap, making care accessible, affordable, and stigma-free.
“By combining technology with compassion, SelfSolace empowers users and first responders to take control of their mental well-being, build resilience, and access support anytime, anywhere,” says Hage-Hassan.
SelfSolace provides users with private, immediate, and stigma-free care — available 24/7. The platform integrates proven therapeutic frameworks such as CBT and EMDR-inspired techniques, merging clinical science with empathetic AI to deliver continuous, effective support.
“Using structured, evidence-based psychotherapy models, SelfSolace delivers personalized treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma through adaptive AI-guided sessions,” says Ortega. “Since launching our pilot, SelfSolace has seen strong traction: over 100 early users, and interest from police departments to provide the platform as a mental health benefit.”
Engagement metrics reportedly show users complete three times more sessions than traditional teletherapy programs, with early data indicating meaningful reductions in reported anxiety and stress levels.
“Our mission is simple but urgent — to make quality mental health care universal,” says LaPensee. “By blending technology, clinical rigor, and human-centered design, SelfSolace empowers individuals and first responders to build resilience, recover from trauma, and reclaim their peace of mind, one session at a time.”
