WARNING
embr is not therapy, and it is not a crisis line.
- it does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your therapist or your program.
- if you are in danger, or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 now.
- embr keeps 988 one tap away on every screen, and never gates it.
tools needed: a phone
time: the minute you’re in
keep these instructions
embr does not store what you type. the conversation runs on infrastructure we control, and nothing is kept unless you switch on “keep my conversation” yourself. read what embr keeps, and what it will and won’t do.

how do I cope between therapy sessions?
Open embr the moment it’s hard. It walks you to the right skill in real time — grounding for a flashback, urge surfing for a craving, breathing for a 2am panic — so the days between appointments stop feeling like open water. It’s a bridge to your next session, not a replacement for your therapist.
can embr help during a panic attack at 2am?
Yes. embr is on your phone every hour, so when panic hits at 2am and no one’s reachable, you can open it and be walked through breathing, grounding, and TIPP right in the chat until the wave passes. If you’re in danger, it points you straight to 988.
is embr a replacement for therapy or a crisis line?
No. embr is a companion for the hours between sessions — it holds warmth and coping skills, but it doesn’t diagnose, treat, or replace your therapist or a crisis line. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 anytime; embr keeps that one tap away.
what coping skills does embr use?
embr draws on established, researched modalities — CBT, DBT, ACT, and MI. In the moment that means real tools: grounding and the STOP skill for overwhelm, urge surfing and TIPP for cravings, thought records for spirals, and Stanley-Brown safety planning when it’s needed.
is embr free?
Yes — embr is free for individuals right now, during early access. Sign in with Google or email; there is no card and no subscription. Treatment centers can run a 30-day free pilot, white-labeled to their brand.
can treatment centers white-label embr?
Yes. Centers get embr white-labeled to their brand — their name, colors, and a per-facility clinical knowledge base — with measurement-based care built in and a 30-day free pilot. It’s live for patients in 24–48 hours, with no added clinician workload.
