HEAL

HEAL helps therapists to create more meaningful connections with clients from diverse backgrounds. Through personalized feedback on client sessions and guided self-reflection prompts, HEAL supports therapists in their growth journey—ultimately helping every client feel truly seen, heard, and understood in their unique cultural context.

The Challenge

When clients share their authentic selves in therapy, cultural misunderstandings and the therapist’s lack of awareness can easily get in the way. This creates barriers that prevent the deep, trusting connections that make therapy truly effective.

HEAL combines AI-powered analysis and research-backed multicultural frameworks into a clean and intuitive tool for therapists. By uploading session recordings, therapists receive feedback and insights that help therapists identify where cultural nuances may have been overlooked.

Our Process

User experience (UX) design

Taking the client’s initial ideas and goals, Pepperplane helped to create an MVP product strategy and crafted the structure and foundations of the tool.

User interface (UI) design

Our goal with the UI design was to create a clean and modern experience that kept a warm, human feel.

We chose colours and fonts that conveyed professionalism and calm with a touch of personality. Combining dark teal with a yellow accent provides balance to the cool tones and brings warmth and contrast.

Rethink Sans provides the perfect blend of professional and personality

Colour Palette

HEAL wanted to ensure they reflect the professionalism, empathy and approachability of a therapist. We blended cooler greens and greys with a warm yellow accent, creating a calm atmosphere that communicates warmth and personality.

I appreciated the love and care that went into this design, y'all are the best!

The Conclusion

HEAL’s mission to enhance therapists’ ability to provide culturally responsive care represents a growing trend of integrating AI thoughtfully into mental health spaces to. HEAL demonstrates how technology can address real gaps in clinical practice and support therapists’ professional development.

This approach exemplifies a broader shift toward using AI as a collaborative tool that amplifies human expertise. Rather than attempting to replace a therapist, it makes quality, culturally-informed care more accessible to communities that have historically been underserved by traditional mental health services.
