Hi, I’m Dr. Ali Mattu

Feeling overwhelmed by the world?You're not glitching. You're awake.That anxiety you're feeling is not a flaw in your system. It's a signal you care about what happens next.We've been taught to suppress or "fix" anxiety. But what if it's actually a compass, pointing you toward what matters?In an era of artificial everything, our emotions, relationships, and capacity to feel are being tested daily.And yet, after over a decade as a clinical psychologist, here's what I've seen again and again: The people who thrive aren't the ones who eliminate anxiety. They're the ones who learn to befriend it.What brings us together is this: the shared work of staying unmistakably human while everything changes.

About Dr. Ali

I was a clinical psychologist at Columbia University Medical Center, but I left because traditional mental health care felt out of reach for too many people.Now I create accessible tools for a world reshaped by AI, anxiety, and disconnection.Over 350,000 people follow my work, which has been featured on Netflix, HBO, and The New York Times.

Three ways I can help you:
