What does it do?
Pacifica offers daily tools to help those with stress and anxiety (iOS & Android). Based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Pacifica is comprised of quick, immersive tools that are designed to fit into our daily lives.
Why do we need it?
40 Million adults in the U.S. are affected by anxiety disorders. Yet, two-thirds of them are not in treatment. Pacifica is an autonomous daily tool to help these people. There’s never been an app like it.
Who is it for?
People worldwide that are struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression. While there will always be a place for traditional therapy, barriers such as stigma, cost, and long-distance often get in the way. Pacifica is a viable alternative.
What makes it stand out from the crowd?
Unlike other “relaxation” apps, Pacifica was developed in consultation with a Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychiatry at the Stanford School of Medicine. It’s rooted in therapy, not fluff. Pacifica is also the best designed app out there.
What’s next?
We’re still in our launch week, so the plan is to continue organic promotion. From there, we’ll be moving into development for the next release as well as fundraising.
