StoryCareTherapy beyond words.
StoryCare turns what emerges in therapy into personalized images, music, and video that patients reflect on and use to reconsider their own stories.
From conversation into another form.
Psychotherapy works through dialogue. StoryCare gives key moments from that dialogue a tangible form patients can see, hear, and reflect on between sessions.
Rooted in therapy
The work begins with what is spoken in session. StoryCare never invents material on its own; it starts with what the patient authentically shares.
Given sensory form
Key metaphors and themes become personalized images, music, or scenes, giving patients a fresh vantage point on their experience.
Governed by the patient
The patient decides whether a representation fits, surprises, or needs revision. What emerges returns to inform the next session.
From session to shared narrative
Selected moments from therapy become a personal Story Page, a private site built from the patient's own language.
Not a worksheet or a chatbot, but something personal the patient actually returns to between sessions.
Share
The patient tells their story. StoryCare captures audio, transcript, and speaker identity.
Shape
The therapist selects the moments that matter and guides what gets created.
Create
StoryCare generates images, video, and original music. Every representation is unique.
Respond
The patient revisits their Story Page between sessions, exploring prompts, surveys, and media on their own terms.
Return
What the patient notices comes back to inform and deepen the next session.
Enabling reflection between sessions.
A secure space curated by the clinician from session dialogue. Patients revisit their media, reflection prompts, and check-ins whenever they choose, at their own pace.
Patient persona, dialogue, and therapeutic imagery are de-identified to protect privacy.
Working with his therapist, Marcus created Born From Fire, a twenty-five-second video illustrating his transition from destructive coping to his preferred future self: employed, protecting others, and present with his family. The video externalizes his struggles and reflects his stated commitment.
Everything clinicians need to review dialogue and shape shared media.
AI assists; the therapist directs.
StoryCare helps patients externalize internal experiences.
The artifact is never the endpoint. Therapy moves through a continuous feedback loop where dialogue becomes representable, patients reflect on their own terms, and what emerges returns to inform subsequent sessions.
In-Session Dialogue
Clinician and patient explore lived experience together, listening closely for distinctive language, metaphors, and turning points. Before the encounter ends, both agree on what should carry forward.
Clinical Curation
The clinician translates selected dialogue into provisional media: imagery, sound, or video. The clinician reviews every piece for accuracy and emotional safety before publishing. Nothing is shown without human review.
Patient Reflection
The patient encounters their Story Page privately between sessions. Through four quiet prompts, they explore what feels true, what feels off, what looks different, and what needs revision.
Narrative Revision
The next session opens with the patient's reaction. Disagreements and surprises become fresh clinical material. What the patient noticed shapes the next conversation, and the cycle continues.
Care made tangible.
StoryCare does not offer conversational advice or replace the clinician. It is a clinical translation medium.
It takes what the patient actually said and renders it in visual and auditory forms under direct clinical oversight. What emerges in therapy takes tangible shape that patients can see, hear, and sit with between sessions.
Imagery and video grounded strictly in patient dialogue.
Original harmonic soundscapes reflecting emotional tone.
Self-paced reflection free from performance anxiety.
The system never diagnoses, assesses clinical risk, or replaces human judgment.
Advancing clinical care and human-AI interaction.
We study what happens when spoken dialogue is translated into personalized images and music within a therapeutic relationship.
What happens when patients encounter external forms of their own material?
How individualized media affects the therapeutic process:
- Perspective: How seeing internal experience externally influences self-understanding.
- Agency & Correction: How patients affirm, modify, or reject representations to claim their own story.
- Session Continuity: How between-session reflection maintains therapeutic connection.
- Feasibility: How clinicians integrate media creation without workflow burden.
How do generative systems support reflection without assuming authority?
How generative systems create reflection tools while keeping humans in control:
- Human Authority: Ensuring models never interpret, diagnose, or dictate meaning.
- Resonance & Revision: What occurs when an artifact succeeds, misses, or is revised.
- Reflective Depth: Understanding when generative media deepens insight versus displaces it.
- Clinician Governance: Maintaining human clinician oversight across all generative steps.
Clinical Status: StoryCare is in clinical evaluation. Proposed therapeutic mechanisms are hypotheses under active study. All media requires clinician review before patient exposure.

We collaborate with clinicians, health systems, and research institutions to advance evidence-based individualized representation in care.
"Most digital tools ask patients to do something outside of therapy. StoryCare creates something from therapy. That's the difference my patients actually respond to."

StoryCare organizes care into a structured six-stage arc designed for individual and group therapy across outpatient and residential care:
Clinicians retain full discretion to adapt, pace, or reorder these stages to support each patient's clinical needs.
