Mental Health Apps:
A Therapist In Your Pocket

Clinical Update

By Zur Institute

For a complete list of all Clinical Updates, click here.


With mental health apps for smartphones and tablets, anyone can access mental health information any time of the day or night. Clients can use apps in conjunction with (or even instead of) psychotherapy.  Clinicians can use them for medication or diagnosis information, personal development, recommendations for clients, and much more.


Why Mental Health Apps in Psychotherapy and Counseling?

    Mental Health Apps

  • Mental Health apps are easy to use

  • They are likely to increase your efficacy

  • If you recommended certain M.H. Apps to clients who have iPads, iPhones, Androids, etc.

    • they would appreciate it
    • they would think you are 'cool'
    • they may tell their friends (make a referral)


Mental health apps are expected to become a $600 million industry in 2012, and for good reason.  Anyone with a smartphone (such as an iPhone) or tablet (such as an iPad) can download an app and begin using it within seconds.  Thousands of mental health apps are free, and thousands more are just 99˘ or a few dollars.  The apps do not expire and can be used every day for years.
