AthenaAI - Virtual Psychologist

The Virtual Psychologist project harnesses Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to create an accessible and personalized mental health support system. Using natural language processing, it engages users in real-time conversations offering tailored therapeutic assistance. The system bridges mental health service gaps, especially for remote or underserved communities, by providing 24/7 support. Incorporating evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it ensures ethical standards through secure data handling and privacy protection. While not a replacement for professional therapists, it complements traditional care, demonstrating GenAI’s potential to enhance accessibility, personalization, and overall mental well-being.
