Opening…
Hello. I Am Here.
A real person sits with you when the day is too heavy to hold alone.
A listening office built into an old house. Come in.
Hello. I Am Here. is a human listening service. When the day is too heavy to hold alone, a real person sits with you — in a text chat room, for 15 minutes — and simply listens. No diagnosis. No treatment plan. No clipboard. Just presence.
A sit is 15 minutes with a hand-picked human listener, extendable in 15-minute blocks from inside the room. You talk; they listen. You can vent about the week, think out loud through a hard decision, or sit in the quiet with someone who isn't going anywhere. Sits are $15 for 15 minutes, and extensions are $15 per 15-minute block from inside the room — pay per sit, no membership required.
This is for anyone who needs to feel heard — the overwhelmed parent, the night-shift worker on her day off, the person who has friends but doesn't want to burden them. This is emotional support and encouragement. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or crisis care, and our listeners will never diagnose, treat, or promise an outcome. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.
Pick a time, choose your listener, check out securely. Your sit room opens when payment clears — or free, on Welcome to the Couch, the last Sunday of every month, 11a–4p Central. Prefer the same familiar face each week? Monthly ($100) and annual ($1,000) memberships keep you with one listener.
A note on who listens: our listeners are independent contractors (1099), not employees. Each listener carries their own professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance.
