Essential Mental Health Resources for Your Well-being

Mental health is just as important as physical health. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, don’t hesitate to seek help. Whether you’re looking for counseling services in Sugar Land, an anxiety therapist near you, or online counseling in Texas, there are resources available to help.

  • The Awakened home screen at night: the greeting Good night, Tap to hear how Home works, the Guide me now and Add to My Day buttons, a suggestion to take one calming breath, and recent tools such as Unwind and Calming Music.
  • The Box Breathing screen: a soft green circle that says Inhale, with four steps below it.
  • The Unwind screen: today’s mandala to color, and more mandalas and blooms to pick from.
  • The Time Management screen: Smart Planner, Daily Planner and Reflection.
  • The night screen for being awake at 3 am, in soft amber: You are awake. That is okay. With a wind-down and something quiet to play.

  • Breathing Find your flow
  • Mood Tracking Unlock your emotions
  • Journaling Your safe space
  • Sleep Befriend the night
  • Calming Music Soothing sounds
  • Unwind Color your calm
  • Automatic Thoughts Catch the thought
  • Anxiety & OCD Quiet the loop
  • Habit Tracking Build your routine
  • Goal Setting Map your life
  • Time Management Master your time
  • Happiness Find what makes you happy

There is a free plan, and you need no card to start. Awakened is a self-care app, not therapy, and it does not replace care from a licensed professional.
