"Bia changed my life. It gives you small steps to take every day and tracks your progress. I'm not done, but I already feel so much better and am doing so much more."
"I can tell this was built my someone who had phobia. They get it. The app lets you customize and take a little placement quiz. You can pause or exit whenever and it's very careful and explains every step. Thank you for making this"
"In short, this site is brilliant. The best help you will ever get apart from an in-person specialist, bar none."
"I feel extremely optimistic using this app and have already changed the way I think and feel more confident in stressful situations as I know what to do . It's also great that your mental health professionals can connect to your account and also have tools provided to them to help them help us."
"It starts with theory foundations and basic exposures and works you up an exposure hierarchy, helping you acclimate and build confidence."
"I love how the exposures are slow and very incremental. It's felt like what I imagine exposure therapy with a therapist would be like! The check ins are helpful and they really help me keep an eye on my anxiety levels while working on the exposures. I also appreciate the reminders to slow down! I'm only on chapter 3 but I'm feeling very optimistic"
Real results for people with Panic
Most panic users see attack frequency drop within 2 weeks of consistent daily practice.
Panic disorder is often described as the fear of fear itself. After one or more attacks (racing heart, dizziness, derealization, the sense you might die or go crazy) it is very easy to fall into a cycle of anxiety and fear. We begin to scan for signs of panic, which means we notice them more often, which causes distress so we scan more - and the cycle escalates. Bia is designed to help us break this cycle of fear, by reversing it in small, incremental steps. Bia provides lessons explaining the science behind this fear and helps you practice evidence-proven skills in short daily exercises.
Common signs of panic
- Racing heart or palpitations
- Dizziness, derealization, or depersonalization
- Shortness of breath or chest tightness
- Fear of dying, going crazy, or losing control
- Anticipatory anxiety between attacks
- Avoidance of places where attacks have happened or could be inescapable

I Believe You Can Recover
Hello, my name is Willy, founder of Bia. I suffered from emetophobia for most of my life and know first hand the misery and loneliness it can cause. During my recovery I built a tool to track my progress and help me practice. Over four years this tool transformed into Bia, now used by people around the world. I'm happy to share I have recovered from phobia and I believe you can too.
As we've grown, I've worked with people recovering from panic disorder, which is particularity challenging to live with. Bia presents small, structured exercises to practice feeling sensations and thoughts, building the skills needed to take this practice into real life.

From Bia User to Co-Founder
My name is Elizabeth, and I am Co-Founder of Bia. I came across an early version of Bia while working through my own phobia recovery and became one of its first users. I was already seeing a therapist, but once I added daily guided-exposure practice with Bia the impact on my recovery was immediate. I've since partnered with Willy to leverage my health-care background to build and expand Bia, and it's been incredibly meaningful to see the tool help others just as it helped me.
