Help your child build emotional skills for life.
If naming feelings is hard, therapy can stall. Feelpath helps your child and their therapist build emotion words, practice skills, and bring progress into everyday life.
Note from the founder
I built Feelpath for families like yours: parents who want to give their kids the best opportunities to grow, and kids who are proud of their own emotional maturity.
Growing up, I had strong traits of ADHD and autism, including executive dysfunction and alexithymia (difficulty identifying and describing emotions). That showed up as procrastination and anxiety, trouble starting and stopping tasks, impulsivity, and a hard time recognizing what I needed, then advocating for it.
Over time, that lack of clarity impacted my self-regulation, relationships, and attachment patterns. The turning point was realizing this wasn’t a character flaw. It was a skills gap, and skills can be learned with the right supports.
Feelpath is built as a mirror for both the clinician and the client: a way to see how we actually show up in session, notice patterns, and build self-awareness, because self-awareness is what makes change possible.

A therapist-led tool for building emotional skills
Feelpath is a secure video session tool your child’s therapist may use. It’s designed to support skill building: naming feelings, noticing patterns, and practicing small next steps.
When your child’s therapist uses our session tools, your child learns the language of feelings: awareness, regulation, and empathy, with support you can reinforce at home, so progress carries into everyday life.
You child will see clear consent choices before sessions. With consent, Feelpath can save a written transcript for insights. Without consent, it should not save a transcript for insights.

If feelings are hard to name, therapy can stall
If your child has a hard time describing how they feel, therapy can stall because it’s tough to work on what you can’t name. This tool helps your child and therapist notice emotional patterns, learn new feeling words, and practice skills between sessions, so the work in therapy shows up more at home and school.
What you may notice first
Small, practical shifts that compound over time.
You’re not looking for perfect calm. You’re looking for more words, steadier recovery, and easier repair.
What changes first
More words to work with.
“Fine” becomes something specific.
Faster recovery after big feelings.
Shorter spirals and easier comebacks.
More self-advocacy.
Needs become sentences: “I need a break.”
More repair after conflict.
It’s easier to reconnect and reset.
Support more ways of learning
Many kids (and parents) need more than talk to integrate change. Feelpath adds visual, interactive tools that reduce working-memory load, support practice, and make sessions easier to revisit, especially for neurodivergent kids.
Our approach:
- Make emotions easier to name with better language.
- Turn real moments into small, doable practice.
- Visualize growth in a way that feels encouraging.
Insights come from the transcript
Our AI integration works purely on the session transcript. We’re deliberate about what we analyze and how we talk about it.
What we don’t do
- ×No video or voice analysis
- ×No face tracking
- ×No telling your child what they feel
Privacy, consent, and stewardship
Clear consent, simple controls, and strong protection, so families can feel safe learning.
A few common questions
Clear, honest answers.
Feelpath is a therapist-led tool that supports emotional skill-building. With clear consent, it can create a written transcript, then turn it into simple reflection tools your child can revisit between sessions.
No. Feelpath isn’t a replacement for therapy. It’s a supportive tool used alongside therapy to help learning carry into everyday life.
Yes, for many clients 13 and older. Minor consent rules vary by state and situation, so the treating clinician should confirm what applies for your child’s location and document the required consent before using Feelpath. Feelpath currently supports therapist and patient access only and does not provide parent or guardian access.
Feelpath does not do video, voice, or face analysis. The focus is on a written transcript when consent is given. You can review the consent options anytime.
What the consent checkboxes meanOn Feelpath, this is what we save: session metadata (start/end times, participants, and BAA agreements), session transcript (who said what when, plus saved sharing/consent state), and session insights (AI observations, analytics you turn on, and therapy notes).
Informed Consent means people understand what is being collected, why, and how it will be used before they consent.
What the consent checkboxes meanRelease of Information (ROI) is requested at the beginning of each video session via the consent checkboxes on the call setup page from both therapist and patient, ensuring transparency and consent.
What the consent checkboxes meanYour child will see clear consent choices before sessions. With consent, Feelpath can save a written transcript for insights. Without consent, it should not save a transcript for insights.
What the consent checkboxes meanIndividuals can control access to their transcripts post-session with revocable consent. If a transcript was previously shared with a therapist, the ability to revoke consent is always available to the individual.
What the consent checkboxes meanThe platform is designed around clear consent and sharing controls. Your child (and their therapist) can see what’s saved and what’s shared in Feelpath. Feelpath currently supports therapist and patient access only and does not provide parent or guardian access.

Read our privacy overviewNo. Feelpath is not a diagnostic tool and it does not triage or replace clinical risk assessment. Use clinical judgment and established crisis protocols.
Some of our insights like emotion analytics rely on more deterministic algorithms that have very high accuracy. Some insights, such as self-talk, rely on more probabilistic algorithms (like LLMs) and can occasionally make mistakes. We do our best to provide the most accurate insights possible.
No, definitely not. Data sent to our model provider (OpenAI) is sent through our HIPAA-compliant workflow and follows Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) so that it isn't stored. Our agreement with OpenAI ensures that they do not use your data to train models.
Read our privacy overviewHIPAA (a federal law) doesn't set a nationwide medical-record retention period; states do. When you work with a therapist on Feelpath, they're the custodian of your clinical record and may have to keep a copy under their state's rules. When you delete your Feelpath account, we delete your data from our active systems; any encrypted backups auto-expire and aren't used for anything. We also keep a few HIPAA-required documents (policies, notices, certain authorizations, not your session content or PHI) for six years, as required by law.
Read our privacy overviewThat’s the opposite of what we want. Our goal is to help kids build skills without shame: clearer words, steadier choices, and a sense of self-trust, at their pace.
