The Saalvio app
Saalvio is our mobile app, the one place that brings everything together: book and attend therapy sessions with our clinical team, take free self-assessments, read our blog, and talk with Thrive AI, our CBT chatbot (free to try with standard chat usage). Three paid plans add more chat usage, AI-guided exercises, end-of-exercise Thrive AI recommendations, cognitive games, calming music, and videos. Available on iPhone and Android in Canada and the United States.
New here? Canadians and friends in the United States can get one year of any paid plan free with code CANADAHEALS. See the offer
A Saalvio public health initiative
Self-help tools should not sit behind a paywall when someone is reaching for help. The CANADAHEALS app year gives you twelve months of your chosen paid plan at no cost, redeemable by code across Canada and the United States. After the year, the plan auto-renews at its regular monthly rate unless you cancel through your app store account first.
Everything Saalvio offers lives inside the app. Therapy access and self-assessments are open to every user, free or paid. The four plans below unlock the rest of the wellness tools.
Book sessions with Saalvio registered psychotherapists and registered social workers right in the app. Your first session is free, then our $100 to $150 collaborative range. Therapy is billed separately from the app subscription and is not part of the CANADAHEALS app year.
Available to every Saalvio user, free or paid
Plain-language mental health self-assessments and Saalvio's blog library, both free to anyone with the app. Use them on their own, or to bring structured information to a conversation with your therapist.
Available to every Saalvio user, free or paid
Talk through what you are feeling, work cognitive-behavioural (CBT) exercises in conversation, and notice mood patterns over time. Free to try with standard chat usage. Paid plans raise the usage tier. Thrive AI is not therapy, not a clinician, and not a crisis service.

You pick a plan from inside the app, not from this website. Open the app, go to Settings, and choose the plan you want.
Your subscription is billed monthly through the Apple App Store or Google Play, processed by our payment provider Stripe under their terms. Saalvio never sees your card data.
Manage or cancel your subscription from your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
Download the Saalvio app from the App Store or Google Play, create your account, then choose any paid plan in the subscription screen and enter the code CANADAHEALS. You get one year of that plan at no cost. Full walkthrough on our CANADAHEALS page.
Yes. The Thrive AI chatbot is on the Free plan with standard chat usage. Paid plans raise the usage tier and unlock AI-guided exercises, end-of-exercise Thrive AI recommendations, cognitive games (Basic and up), and calming music plus videos (Pro and up).
Your subscription auto-renews at the regular monthly rate of the plan you picked: Basic $4.99, Pro $9.99, or Premium $14.99 CAD. To avoid the renewal, cancel through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings before the renewal date. You keep the rest of the free year either way.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade any time through your app store subscription settings. Apple and Google handle the prorating, and whether the change is immediate or takes effect next cycle follows their policies.
Cancellation happens through your Apple ID or Google Play account, not through Saalvio. On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, find Saalvio, and tap Cancel. On Android, open the Google Play app, tap your profile picture, choose Payments and subscriptions, find Saalvio, and cancel. You keep access for the rest of the current billing cycle.
Apple and Google each set their own price tiers and currency rules. The price on your store may differ slightly from the $4.99, $9.99, or $14.99 CAD listed here because of currency conversion or store rounding. The store's price is what you pay.
Yes. Your Saalvio app data is governed by our Privacy Policy. Your information is held under PHIPA in Ontario and PIPEDA across Canada. Where a part of the app relies on US infrastructure, such as Thrive AI, that layer runs under HIPAA-aligned safeguards with signed Business Associate Agreements. Saalvio never sees your card data; Apple, Google, and Stripe handle billing. See our Security and Compliance page for the full safeguards summary.
No. The Saalvio app is a self-help product. It is not therapy, it is not a crisis service, and it is not a regulated medical device. If you need therapy, our clinical team is available in Ontario today, expanding across Canada. Saalvio is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911. If you are in mental health crisis, please call 988 (the Suicide Crisis Helpline of Canada) or visit your nearest emergency department.
