“The way our society deals with mental health is outdated, so we’ve made a mobile app that will change this perspective and revolutionize wellness.” – The KindMind Team

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and KindMind is using the month as an opportunity to educate others about mental illness. For each of the 31 days of May, KindMind will be sharing annotated images to help shatter misconceptions about mental illness.

New York, NY — KindMind Technology, LLC launched its app that is revolutionizing the mental health industry. KindMind offers users access to mental health treatment via video therapy sessions, fun and innovative mood tracking, and a community support forum – providing all of one’s mental wellness needs in one convenient place. For professionals, KindMind enables licensed therapists to start or grow their online clientele using secure, HIPAA-compliant video chat to provide treatment. Importantly, the app handles the administrative burden of scheduling and billing, allowing licensed therapists more time to focus on their clients. Put simply, KindMind seeks to revolutionize mental wellness by putting the power directly in the hands of the mental health community.

“It’s time mental health gets added into the overall wellness equation. With KindMind, users have access to a therapist right in their pocket as well as a whole community of users for support, giving them the mental tools to perform their best all the time,” said Elijah Bullard, CEO of KindMind Technology, LLC. KindMind is differentiating itself from other health apps by acting as a complete platform for mental wellness needs. Whether you need help finding the perfect therapist, social support, or even medication, KindMind has it all in one place to help make life easier.

With today’s technology, access to mobile tools that help maintain and achieve good health should not be limited and divided. KindMind revolutionizes society’s approach to therapy and psychiatry by facilitating streamlined access to care using video-conferencing, payment and insurance processing, appointment scheduling, personalized searching to find mental health providers, and mood tracking similar to how we track our physical fitness.

Speaking about the app’s customizable search filters, Elle Bernfeld LMSW, the company’s Chief Mental Health Officer, said, “ It should not be a mystery who you will be meeting during your first session. KindMind addresses this issue by allowing providers’ personalities to shine through in their profiles, which include a short intro video. In addition to that, our search filters empower patients to find the provider they are looking for. We want people to feel comfortable knowing that their provider will likely be a good match.”

KindMind’s mood tracking helps its users stay on top of their mental wellness. Through the app, users can track their mood on a daily basis to identify mood patterns, discover associations about their mood that might otherwise go unnoticed, and look back on their progress. KindMind enables users to track their mood with new and exciting technologies, such as voice and face recognition. “We understand that staying motivated to use mood tracking apps can be a struggle. KindMind addresses this using in-app incentives, like earning achievements for tracking progress. We’ve ‘gamified’ mood tracking to keep it fun and exciting. Moving forward, we have plans to connect mood tracking with information from other apps that people are already using,” said Weiyu Shen, the company’s Chief Technology Officer.

KindMind wants to change the way people see mental health by encouraging them to see it as just another part of overall wellness. KindMind aims not just to help people achieve better overall wellness, but also to help end the stigma towards mental health issues. Bullard adds, “We are ​​a young team of professionals and we’re using this as an advantage to change the image of mental health.” KindMind currently offers in-app therapy sessions to patients in NY.
