Therapists See Teens Once A Week — For 50 Minutes.
10,030
minutes every week the clinician can't see
Sessions start cold. The first ten minutes are spent trying to remember the week. Crises, breakthroughs, and small moments fade before the next session. Teens forget. Or they don't have the words yet. Or they don't want to look their therapist in the eye and say it.
“
By the time they're in my office, I've lost the week. I'm building a picture from what they happen to remember in the first five minutes.

A Private Place to Reflect. A Pre-Session Brief for Their Clinician.
ADOLESCENT
Records short audio or text entries between sessions
Lightweight. No prompts to perform. A private place to talk through the week as it happens.
REFLEO
Analyzes entries for themes and clinician-set parameters
Surfaces recurring topics, emotional shifts, and patterns. Never counsels.
CLINICIAN
Receives a pre-session insights brief before each appointment
Walks in informed. Spends the session on the work, not the recap.
During a health policy hackathon in February 2026, we decided to go out on a Friday night instead of staying in the dorm. That night, away from our screens, we saw how easily someone's hardest moments can slip past the people who care most. Within 24 hours, we built PRISM, a predictive platform to help Harris County allocate harm-reduction resources. We won first place. But more importantly, we couldn't stop asking: why does it take a crisis for someone to notice?
Refleo exists so that the people already in a teen's life — their therapist — never have to wonder what they missed.
