Yes. I have been building software products across various industries for the last 20 years.
Having worked in a strictly corporate environment in the past, bringing the empathy aspect to products in the behavioral health space is always a challenge.

Google Maps – Takes me where I want to go and it almost always is right.
Trello – Simplicity and a real productivity tool.
DBT Coach – The best and most comprehensive Evidence-Based therapy app.
About 4 months. But we’ve built several other evidence-based therapy apps which we could lean on.
The users of an app like this are vulnerable. So we had always put empathy at the forefront and particular attention to simplicity and ease of use. Of course, making it aesthetically pleasing is important too while not losing the functionality.
Most other apps only touch parts of these evidence-based treatment modalities. So it's all in bits and pieces. One particular focus during development was to make the app comprehensive and cover all aspects of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
We are working towards a more holistic health app combining aspects of nutrition, sleep, activities, etc. with ACT.
We would like to build awareness about evidence-based treatment modalities and ACT is one of them. Since this is the only comprehensive app for ACT, we would like users to spread the word about the app so that a much wider audience can benefit from it.
About App:
