AI-Powered Relationship Wellness for Healthcare Systems, Employers, and Community Health Programs
Relationship Distress Is an Upstream Healthcare Crisis
The healthcare system spends billions treating the downstream effects of relational distress: depression, anxiety, substance use, adverse childhood outcomes, chronic stress conditions, and workplace absenteeism. The upstream cause, the relationship itself, remains unaddressed because traditional couples therapy is inaccessible to most people who need it.
Cost: $150 to $300 per sessionWaitlists: 3 to 6 months for a qualified couples therapistStigma: The majority of people in distress never seek helpProvider shortage: Not enough trained couples therapists to meet demandOne partner problem: When one partner refuses therapy, the other has no path forwardClinician-Designed AI That Delivers the Model Perfectly. Every Time.
Empathi Health is an AI relationship coaching platform built by Figs O’Sullivan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). The platform delivers the Empathi Method with perfect clinical consistency, 24/7, at a fraction of the cost of traditional therapy.
The AI does not have bad days. It does not project personal experience. It does not unconsciously side with one partner. It follows the clinical model every time, and it never attempts to go beyond what is safe.
Empathi Health is coaching and psychoeducation, not therapy. This classification enables deployment without state-by-state licensing requirements, FDA clearance, or telehealth regulatory complexity.
Works for Individuals, Couples, or Both
Individual Mode
One person works on their own relational patterns, attachment style, and emotional responses. No partner participation required. Ideal for the majority of cases where one partner is unwilling to engage with therapy.
Partner Integration
When a partner is willing, they complete their own assessment. The platform integrates both profiles to map the full relational system: the pursue-withdraw cycle, shared triggers, and the dynamic between them.
Couples Mode
Guided joint sessions with structured turn-taking, real-time escalation detection, and automatic safety protocols. If conflict exceeds safe parameters, both users are redirected to individual mode.
