Voda is an application that provides mental health support specifically designed for the LGBTQIA+ community. It addresses the unique challenges that individuals in this community face, such as coming out, gender dysphoria, body image, relationships, shame, stigma, family rejection, transitioning, finding friends, political anxiety, and bullying. Voda aims to help LGBTQIA+ individuals thrive and live fulfilled lives by offering a fresh approach to dealing with the difficulties of living in a society that is heteronormative and cisnormative.
The app has been featured in well-known publications such as Forbes, Attitude, DIVA, GAYTIMES, and DigitalHealth.London. It offers various features to support mental health, including AI-powered journaling, personalized 10-day plans, 15-minute wellness sessions, LGBTQIA+ voiced meditations, and over 180 therapy modules specifically designed for the LGBTQIA+ community. Additionally, Voda has the Trans+ Library, which is the largest mental health resource for transgender individuals.
Through Voda, users can learn self-care, build confidence, and overcome stigma using evidence-based therapy approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. The app was designed by a panel of leading psychotherapists and is based on the latest research on LGBT+ therapy, counseling, and mental health.
Voda prioritizes the safety and privacy of its users. All cognitive journaling exercises are encrypted to ensure they remain confidential. The app does not share any data with third parties.
