We built Therapy Is Us to confront a rising crisis—millions are struggling with mental health challenges while falling deeper into poverty, and the systems meant to support them are failing.

Our platform breaks barriers, offering accessible, affordable, and transformative therapy tools, AI-guided wellness support, and belief-aligned healing paths for individuals and families too often left out. These tools reach those who lack access to treatment, feel too overwhelmed to seek help, or face cultural and systemic barriers—and they extend healing between therapy sessions.

Through this innovative model, the revenue generated by Therapy Is Us becomes a lifeline for vulnerable communities. This funding directly supports critical resources like food, shelter, and long-term solutions that empower individuals and families to rise out of poverty.

Therapy Is Us is a self-sustaining force where care meets action, creating a world where no one is forgotten.

The Immersive Wellness Center is a transformative mental health experience—where technology, compassion, and community converge.

This digital sanctuary will offer AI-guided therapy tools, belief-aligned healing paths, and immersive environments that engage the senses, fostering deep emotional restoration. By integrating virtual reality, interactive self-care modules, and personalized support, the Center aims to make mental wellness accessible and affordable for all.

Together, we're building a future where healing is within reach, and every step forward supports a broader movement toward equity and hope.

We’re pioneering a new kind of mental health platform:

• Because healing shouldn’t end when the therapy session does.
• Mental health support should never be limited to those who can afford insurance.
• Healing is a journey that takes time, and our system must evolve to meet the need for help between sessions and for those who, for any reason, are left without access to care.

We are seeking funding because the crisis is real, and the vision is bold.

Millions are being left behind in the struggle for mental health and basic necessities.

With our current resources, we’re on track to build the Wellness Center within three years, but the need is immediate. We need additional capital to fast-track construction and complete the entire center in just eight months.

Once built, 30% of all net profits will be donated to charity causes, fueling a cycle of care, compassion, and action that lifts communities and transforms lives.

While comparable services cost around $300 a month, we’re committed to equity: our fees will start at just $10 a month, capped at $100 for premium access. And we’d charge even less if advanced technology wasn’t so costly to integrate.

Our all-volunteer team—including five dedicated programmers, a passionate founder, and support staff—have already invested over $180,000 worth of hours and $90,000 of personal funds to build this affordable mental health platform for underserved communities.

“As the founder of The Messer Innovation Group, Joel leads with a mission to empower therapists and create systemic change in mental health and social services.”

Joel’s journey in mental health began with a deep exploration of trauma and resilience. As a therapist, he worked closely with individuals facing depression, trauma, and life’s most vulnerable moments—offering a space for healing and hope. While this work was profoundly rewarding, a new path opened when he began serving refugee populations.

Joel quickly realized that traditional therapy alone wasn’t enough to meet the urgent needs of these communities. Families weren’t just seeking emotional healing—they were fighting for survival against homelessness, hunger, and systemic neglect. An attempt to secure shelter for a domestic violence survivor revealed the heartbreaking reality of a strained system.

These experiences sparked Joel’s vision: to create a company that empowers therapists and generates revenue to address critical social needs. He imagined a business model where success fuels community impact—funding programs for domestic violence shelters, mental health services for the homeless, food initiatives, and job training for marginalized communities.

Today, Joel leads The Messer Innovation Group with a clear purpose: to empower mental health professionals, expand access to critical services, and create a future where mental health care and basic necessities are not privileges, but rights.

“Joel remains committed to expanding The Messer Innovation Group’s impact, ensuring that every person—regardless of circumstance—has access to the support they need.”
