Neurture App Winner of Counselor's Choice Award

We have another tool for your therapy toolbox that we're proud to promote as an honoree of Counselor's Choice Award! Neurture! Neurture is a science-backed, self-compassionate companion for anyone ready to reduce or quit unwanted habits — from doom-scrolling to vaping to impulsive spending. Grounded in CBT, ACT, and other evidence-based modalities reviewed by licensed clinicians, the app blends bite-sized psycho-education with an AI coach that listens without judgment, guides users through “urge-surfing,” and turns research into personalized, step-by-step action plans.

Beyond chat, Neurture’s toolkit offers guided meditations, reflection prompts, and a “My Map” dashboard that transforms goals, triggers, and coping skills into a living roadmap the user can update at any moment. Hand-written journal pages digitize in one tap, while an affirmation builder rewires negative self-talk into supportive inner dialogue.

Because privacy underpins progress, Neurture never sells data or targets users with ads. Built for sub-clinical populations and as between-session support, it empowers counselors to extend care beyond the therapy room while keeping clients engaged in evidence-based practice. Behavioral-health professionals praise the app for delivering 24/7 acceptance-based support that feels validating and actionable.

Available on iOS and Android, Neurture helps users cultivate a calmer brain, clearer goals, and truly lasting behavior change — all in a friendly space people love to return to. Neurture is intended to help people break habits or overcome addictive behaviors, whether that's overeating or snacking, doomscrolling, drinking alcohol, viewing pornography, or even gambling. This is especially helpful for those looking for a self-help solution or who would like a supplement to therapy. Find it on the app stores: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6467687675
