A guided conversation to feel better.

Get Started

Backed by Research

Basis' approach involves more than just listening, and research has shown it to be more helpful than venting to a friend.

On Your Terms

Basis sessions happen whenever and wherever you need them. They’re also 100% confidential 
and anonymous.

No Judgment

Up to 45 minutes fully dedicated to you. Talk through what’s on your mind with an objective, real person.

More helpful than talking to a friend

A Basis Specialist is a solid, dependable person who happens to be outside your inner circle. A confidant who doesn’t just listen, but hears you out. They’re trained to ask the right questions that push and prod you to look at things differently, with a fresh perspective. No judgment, just a conversation focused on you.

- Lyle, 32

School

- Alex, 20

Relationships

“I was having issues with my boyfriend but I didn’t feel like I could talk to friends or family about it. What if it changed their opinion of him? My Basis Specialist was a neutral, objective person to help me work through it.”

How It Works

A Basis session is a guided conversation that will help you feel better. The conversations are with real people that are trained in a research-backed approach that has been shown to be more helpful than just venting to a friend. The sessions take place via video or phone on our website or mobile app. They’re available same-day at a cost of $35 for a 45-minute session.

Our Mission

Basis is a new type of support system that fits seamlessly into your routine. We can’t always talk to friends and family about life’s tough moments, and Basis exists to fill that gap. It provides a trained ear that won’t judge and is fully focused on you.
