At Ava Mind, we’re on a mission to transform the mental health landscape by providing more accessible, meaningful, and connected care for both users and professionals. We know that the world of mental health is constantly evolving, and to ensure we’re meeting the needs of everyone we serve, we’re making some exciting changes.

Today, we’re proud to introduce our rebrand from Mindscape to Ava Mind and the launch of Ava Connect—a new platform dedicated to mental health professionals.

But why these changes, and what do they mean for the future of mental health care? Let’s dive in.

The Need for a New Identity

When we first launched Mindscape, we wanted to create a platform that could provide value to both individuals seeking mental health support and the therapists who support them. But as we grew and listened to feedback from our community, we realised that we could do even more. The name Mindscape was a great starting point, but as our vision expanded, we wanted a name that better reflected our core values and aspirations.

Ava Mind embodies our commitment to creating a platform that’s all about connection, understanding, and progress. "Ava" symbolises the human side of therapy—empathy, support, and the ability to connect deeply with others—while "Mind" keeps our focus on mental well-being and self-improvement. Together, Ava Mind represents a space where both users and professionals can thrive together in a world that increasingly demands more accessible and personalised mental health care.

Why Ava Connect for Mental Health Professionals?

As part of the rebrand, we’re also launching Ava Connect, a dedicated hub for mental health professionals. Why did we choose to create this new platform for therapists and other professionals in the mental health field?

The answer is simple: Ava Connect is designed to help mental health professionals access the tools, resources, and community they need to grow their practices and deliver the best care possible.

We believe that Connected Care doesn’t just apply to users—it applies to the professionals who support them. Just as users need a platform that empowers them with personalised, effective care, mental health professionals need a platform that helps them manage their practice, connect with like-minded peers, and stay ahead of the curve with the latest tools and innovations. Ava Connect offers exactly that.

At launch, professionals will be able to publicly list themselves on the Ava Mind app, manage their profile on Ava Connect, and offer us feedback within the platform. We’re building in public and listening directly to our community to help shape the platform. While features like networking and tools for operational efficiency won’t be available immediately, they are on our roadmap. Mental health professionals who join us early will be crucial contributors to our mission, supporting the development of a platform that makes mental health care more accessible for everyone.

A Unified Vision: Connected Care

At the heart of all these changes is our belief in Connected Care—the idea that mental health care should be more than just a transactional service but a deeply connected experience that empowers both users and professionals.

For users, Ava Mind offers personalised support, self-help tools, and access to a network of skilled therapists. But the experience doesn't stop there—Ava Mind is built to foster a sense of community, helping users feel connected to both the resources they need and the professionals who can guide them on their journey.

For therapists, Ava Connect is an extension of that vision, giving them the tools to manage their practice, collaborate with others, and reach a broader audience—all while ensuring they can offer the best care possible.

Together, Ava Mind and Ava Connect work in tandem to create a seamless, connected experience where mental health professionals and users are better equipped to thrive.

What’s Next for Ava Mind and Ava Connect?

While today marks the beginning of a new chapter for us, we’re just getting started. We’re continuously developing new features for both Ava Mind and Ava Connect to ensure we’re meeting the evolving needs of our community.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming soon:

• For Ava Mind users: New tools for self-help and wellness, plus an expanded ability to find the right therapist at the right time.
• For Ava Connect professionals: More resources to grow your practice, including access to exclusive training, professional networking events, and tools to engage with clients in new ways.

We’re also thrilled to announce that our new websites for Ava Mind and Ava Connect will be launching soon, along with the BETA launch campaign for professionals. For all those mental health professionals who have registered and shown their interest—it's coming very soon! Keep an eye out!

Conclusion

The changes from Mindscape to Ava Mind and the launch of Ava Connect are all about better serving you. Whether you’re a user seeking mental health support or a therapist dedicated to making a difference, we’re committed to offering platforms that meet your needs, empower your growth, and foster Connected Care every step of the way.
