How it works

Support that meets you where you are, then goes further

Start with a conversation. Move to a licensed counselor when you need one. Keep the momentum in between.

  1. Check in with Zenn, any hour

    Open the Balance for Life app when something is on your mind — 2 a.m. included. Zenn listens, helps you sort through it, and knows when to bring in a person.

  2. Get matched with a licensed counselor

    When you need more than a chat, you're connected to a licensed counselor, in your language, with up to 10 sessions per life event.

  3. Keep going between sessions

    Journal, mood check-ins, goals and expert-led workshops live in the same app, so progress doesn't stop when a session ends.
