We’re reimagining mental health care

 Mental health care that’s as unique as you are

Recent discoveries in brain research have led to exciting new technologies that can improve your mental health without traditionally long wait times or treatment plans that don’t fit your personal needs.

At Alena, we understand that everyone’s brain is different, and mental health conditions are complex. We use computational psychiatry to understand how your brain works and create customized treatment plans just for you. Our first service is designed primarily to help people who experience social anxiety.

We’re better together

We all want to have positive social interactions, whether it’s at work or with friends. But sometimes things can go wrong with our ability to connect with others, which can really impact our lives. That’s where Alena comes in - we help you check in on your cognitive processes related to your social interactions and give you the support you need to feel confident in any social setting.

Play games, get results

Everything we do, feel, and choose is based on how our brain works. When it comes to social anxiety, there are four key cognitive processes that play a big role: beliefs, attention, rumination, and avoidance.

Scientists at Alena have created fun games that simulate everyday social situations to help us understand how your brain works in different scenarios. By assessing your gameplay, we build a unique profile of your cognitive processes, which we then use to create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

What is Social Anxiety?

Social anxiety is holding millions of people back from reaching their full potential

Social anxiety is the fear of being judged negatively by others. Almost everyone experiences this fear to an extent and feels nervous and fearful in some social situations, such as job interviews, dates, or giving a speech or presentation.

When the fear of negative judgment starts to interfere and cause significant anxiety, self-consciousness, embarrassment and rumination in everyday life - this is considered social anxiety disorder (SAD).
