Our belief
For millions of people, that weekly hour with a therapist is one of the most important commitments they make. It's where they find language for what they've never been able to say, recognize patterns that held them back for years, and have the breakthroughs that change the trajectory of a life.
And yet, for all that impact, there's something about the process that hasn't kept up.
You shouldn't have to choose between being present in the hour and holding on to what it gave you.
The challenge
Memory is imperfect.
In therapy, the most important information is spoken — the insights you uncover, the patterns you start to recognize, the breakthroughs that shift how you see yourself. And in the one hour that asks for all of you, part of your attention is always reaching for a pen that isn't there.
The clarity you felt in the room softens over the week. The patterns that emerge across a year of sessions are nearly impossible to see from the inside. Your therapist walks with you through the hour — but most of the week happens outside the room, where the holding on and the making sense are yours alone.
Meet Lucca
Your intelligent talk therapy companion.
What if you could give the conversation your whole attention — knowing every word was kept privately, the patterns would surface on their own, and the moments that mattered would be there when you wanted to return to them?
There are platforms to find providers, apps for scheduling and payments, systems for clinical notes. The industry has built a tool for every part of therapy — except the person the hour is for. The client. After years of living that gap, I built the tool I wished existed.
And just like that, Lucca was born.
Lucca is a companion that listens, records, and reflects alongside you. It sits quietly in your sessions — private, unobtrusive — so you can stay in the conversation instead of trying to hold onto it. Everything is transcribed, encrypted, and easy to revisit. Patterns surface across conversations, and the breakthroughs — we call them Shifts — are saved for whenever you need to remember how far you've come.
Beyond therapy
It began as a therapy companion. It became a way to know yourself.
The longer you live with Lucca, the clearer it becomes: what it's really for is bigger than any single hour. Therapy is one stream feeding something larger — the reservoir of your life, where the people you love and the work you do on yourself all collect. Some people fill that reservoir in therapy. Others fill it through the people closest to them.
Lucca is built to carry those streams, whichever ones are yours, and to keep what gathers there. Over time it becomes less a record of your sessions and more a way of knowing yourself — the shifts, the people, the threads you keep returning to.
Every session feeds the reservoir of your life.
Our mission
Enable private intelligence
for your inner world.
To help you hold onto the insights that matter most. To surface the patterns you're too close to see. To be a calm, trustworthy companion that listens quietly, remembers everything, judges nothing, and shows you how far you've come.
Lucca was my golden retriever — and the spirit behind this whole app. If you've been around a golden, you know they make you feel like everything's going to be okay. They don't judge, rush, or try to fix things. They just sit beside you — patient, warm, completely present.
I built the app around the same qualities that made him so special: loyal to your privacy, patient enough to let you move at your own pace, warm in every interaction, and always there when you need it.
The original Lucca.
