This app has a really friendly environment where I can relate to other people's problems through their posts and know that I'm not alone.

I think it’s a great app that helps me with my stress from school and friends. I also don't have a therapist yet bc idk if we can afford one so it’s nice to have a resource to use. Over all it’s a good app😊👍

I was able to set up a one on one chat with one of the people available and she was a great help. She helped me get into contact with a center that talks about insurance and low cost plans for professional help. Soon after they reached out to me and the process isn’t taking long at all. The best part, it’s all free. I’m not even joking I didn’t pay a single penny and i’m getting help I wasn’t able to get before. I honestly recommend this app for anyone. Before you set up your chat or video call it shows you what each person specializes in and allows you to select who you want to talk to. It’s genuinely just great.

This app is great because it’s free and when I need the support, I can definitely just book a chat When I need it

Ameez reviews

I really like Soluna. My friend’s mom recommended it to me as she learned about it through her work.(she’s a nurse). It has really helped me get through some rough mental issues and a really good place to learn more tools. I love the interactions with other users and everything is private. Being able to see I’m not the only one suffering has really helped me and opened my eyes. Overall it’s been a great tool to relate with other verified youth who share struggles.

Recently downloaded this app and talked with my first coach today. It was surprisingly helpful, i’m a teenager and definitely recommend this to anyone my age who needs someone to talk to. Thank you for providing this great resource for free!!!

I like the tools - thought shaker is like an affirmation generator, starboard - relaxing drawing tool; noise cleanse - good for distraction

I love using the Soluna app to set a positive tone for my day. I enjoy using the noise cleanse feature when there are a lot of distractions in my environment. I also try and use the free write feature to help me get thoughts out of my head into words.

It is an amazing app and I couldn’t be more happy that I found it.

I just down loaded this app. As a 20 year old who is in college and works full time as a teacher. I have a lot of inner issues that I never thought I could get help for because my doctor wanted to charge me 400 dollars a session for therapy which is not something I can afford. This is an insanely good concept and resource for our ages. I'm over the moon that I was so easily able to schedule an appointment with a counselor without the voice in the back of my mind telling me I can afford it.

It’s completely free. Like, for real free. The Department of Healthcare Services in California (DHCS) covers all costs for the app. So you’ll never see annoying ads, be asked to enter payment details, or be prompted to sign up for a subscription. In Soluna, in-app purchases are not a thing.

No, your activity on Soluna is private.  Your guardians, school, employer, or doctor cannot see what you do on the platform.  We do not share any of your information with them.  However, if we are ever concerned about your safety, we may need to take action to protect you, which could involve contacting emergency services or relevant authorities.

Your privacy is our priority. That means we only share your information as outlined in our Privacy Notice.

Soluna is designed to protect your privacy. You don’t need to share your name, so you can explore the app with confidence.
