Our Story
The Story of Lucca
Your intelligent talk therapy companion — because your mental health deserves the very best.
For millions of people, that weekly hour with a therapist is one of the most important commitments they make. It's where they learn to recognize patterns that have held them back for years. It's where they find the language for things they've never been able to articulate. It's where real breakthroughs happen — the kind that change the trajectory of a life.
And yet, for all the profound impact therapy has on the people who engage in it, there's something about the process itself that hasn't kept up.
The challenge
A Data + Collaboration Problem
In therapy, the most important information is shared verbally. The insights you uncover, the patterns you start to recognize, the breakthroughs that shift how you see yourself — all of it lives in conversation. And when the session ends, most of it has to be carried forward by memory alone.
But memory is imperfect. The insight that felt so clear on Tuesday can fade by Thursday. Patterns that emerge across weeks of sessions are nearly impossible to see when you're in the middle of them. And the moments that matter most — the ones where something truly clicks — often exist only in the fragmented recall of two people. When those conversations fade, we lose the ability to build on them over time.
Critical insights trapped in human memory
Meet Lucca
Your intelligent talk therapy companion
What if every session was automatically transcribed, securely stored, and easily accessible? What if insights and patterns were automatically detected across conversations? What if patients could easily track their progress and revisit the moments that mattered most?
There are platforms to help find providers, apps to manage scheduling and payments, systems for clinical documentation. The industry has built tools for every part of the therapy experience — except for the person who matters most in the room. The client. After years of experiencing this gap firsthand, I set out to build the tool I wished existed.
And just like that, Lucca was born.
Lucca is a therapy companion that quietly sits in your sessions, captures what was said, and helps you make sense of it all. All session information is automatically transcribed, securely stored, and easily accessible. Insights and patterns are automatically detected across conversations. Breakthrough moments — we call them Shifts — are captured so you can revisit them whenever you need to remember how far you've come.
What therapy looks like with a companion by your side
Our mission
Accelerate your therapy journey, so you can become the person you were meant to be
To help you hold onto the insights that matter most. To surface the patterns you're too close to see. To give you a calm, trustworthy companion that remembers everything, judges nothing, and helps you see how far you've come.
Lucca was my golden retriever — and the spirit behind everything this app is. If you've ever been around a golden, you know they have a gift for making you feel like everything is going to be okay. They don't judge, they don't rush, and they don't try to fix things. They just sit beside you — patient, warm, completely present.
I built Lucca around the same qualities that made the real Lucca so special. Loyal to your privacy. Patient, letting you engage entirely on your own terms. Warm and supportive in every interaction. And always present, quietly holding space whenever you need it.
With love,
