About
A calmer first step toward feeling like yourself.
Thera began with a simple idea: asking for help shouldn't feel hard. We're building a bilingual space where adults, parents, teens and therapists meet — gently, privately, and on your terms.
What we believe
Four principles that shape every screen.
Care over conversion
We measure success by people who feel a little lighter — not by sessions sold.
Bilingual from day one
Every word, font, and layout works in English and Arabic. No second-class language.
Privacy is non-negotiable
Your story is encrypted, role-scoped, and never used to train external models.
AI as a companion, not a doctor
Thera AI listens and reflects. For diagnosis, we hand you to a licensed human.
Our story
Built in Egypt, for people who deserve a gentler first step.

Semi Colon Team forms
Thera started as a student-led project in Dumyat Al Jadidah — a small team of designers and engineers who believed mental health support should feel welcoming in Arabic and English, not intimidating.
2025
Designing with care
We spent months talking with therapists, parents, and young adults across Egypt. Every screen was shaped around privacy, bilingual UX, and the idea that AI should companion — never replace — licensed professionals.

Opening Thera to the world
Today the Semi Colon Team ships Thera from Dumyat Al Jadidah: a calm space where adults, parents, teens, and vetted therapists connect — on your terms, in the language that feels like home.
