Calmerry is a user-friendly therapy platform with experienced therapists that we found to be professional, responsive and very eager to help. They provide an overall excellent therapy service that’s a pleasure to use.
Unlike every other provider we’ve tested, Calmerry allows you to sign up and get a feel for what you can expect from their platform before committing to a monthly subscription. They do this through their introductory weekly package which costs $64.99 for the week. This plan lets you try out a live video-based session with a therapist, engage chat therapy with them for additional support and enjoy access to their “Reflection helper,” a guided journaling tool you can choose to share with your therapist or keep all to yourself.
It should be noted that signing up for this option is not possible through the regular signup page. You’ll need to engage in the live chat support on the website and ask them for it.
The Calmerry mobile app has all the features you need to continue your therapy wherever you may be. This gives you the flexibility to communicate by chat, or even schedule a live session during breaks at work, while sitting in the car, or when waiting in line at the store.
As with all online therapy providers, your experience is highly dependent on the professionalism of your therapist, how responsive they are to your chat messages and how well your personalities connect.
To that end, Calmerry requires all of its therapists to be trained clinical psychologists, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, or licensed professional counselors. They all have a master’s or doctorate degree in their field. In addition, they have been qualified and certified by their state’s professional board after completing the required education, exams and practice. The platform also requires its therapists to regularly check-in with users to maximize the engagement and make sure they continue with ongoing dialogue.
When it comes to pricing, Calmerry offers three affordable plans from which to choose. They are billed monthly and designed to accommodate a range of budgets:
