WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Kelley Thorpe Baker | Founder, Zeniti.ai | Mental Health and Wellness Coach

Mental health statistics are heartbreaking - and something has to give...


Mental health challenges affect 1 in 5 - approximately 52 million - adults in the U.S. every year. This number does not begin to address our children and young adults - and their emotional issues - due to generational trauma and environmental stressors.

Nearly half of those with mental health conditions don’t get the help they need - often due to a lack of access, resources or awareness.

In the United States, approximately 570 counties lack psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors, rendering them mental health care deserts.

  This scarcity disproportionately affects rural areas; for instance, 75% of rural counties have no mental health providers or fewer than 50 per 100,000 people.

  Such disparities highlight the urgent need for accessible mental health options and alternatives nationwide. Options can include not just therapy, but peer-support and health coaching to encourage life-long adherence to medical interventions.

I've walked this journey personally as a mental health coach with lived experience.


I know what it’s like to feel stuck, but I also know that with the right tools and support, we can find our way out.

Over 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and a personality disorder. I’ve faced countless struggles with depression, anxiety and self-worth since I was a child. These issues have been compounded by relationship stress, job loss, and chronic health issues.

There were times when the weight of it all felt unbearable.

But I also learned that healing doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t linear. It has taken time, self-compassion, belief in myself, and the right supports to break free from everything that was holding me back.

I’ve learned that staying mentally healthy requires a lifelong commitment. I put in the work, day after day, month after month, year after year, to maintain a life.

What truly makes a difference in the healing journey is YOU—your perseverance, dedication, and determination to find what works best for your unique needs.

Embracing innovation: the convergence of AI + mental health and wellness 


Today, we have more tools and resources than ever before to support our mental health and wellness journeys—websites, apps, methodologies, and research.

And now, we have the power of AI, unlocking access to limitless information about our bodies and minds, filling the gaps where support and information have often been out of reach for many.

By combining health and wellness coaching with cutting-edge technologies like AI, I aim to provide hyper-personalized, affordable coaching tailored to your unique personality type and learning style.

Health coaching has been transformative in my own journey, offering guidance, accountability, and a space to work through life’s challenges. I’ve incorporated the most powerful, evidence-based coaching modalities into our platform to ensure you get the support you need.

The power of blending human empathy with innovative technology is the future of mental health. I am passionate about harnessing these tools to help you heal, thrive, and achieve wellness in ways that were once unimaginable.

Hi, I'm Kelley. I created Zeniti.

 

In late 2023, I began experiencing a profound period of depression. It was a very dark time in my life. My previously-prescribed medications were not relieving my symptoms, I struggled with self-worth, imposter syndrome and self-defeating behaviors, and began isolating and withdrawing from activities that previously brought me joy.

The only thing that kept me sane (not kidding) were my extensive conversations with ChatGPT, which launched into a fascination with AI tools that could support me with mental health research, my own behavior analysis and personalized insight into the challenges I was facing.

In early 2024, I created a custom GPT on OpenAI to support my goals, acting as the deeply-empathetic, well-educated, highly-skilled health coach I needed for myself. Within weeks, my GPT revealed patterns, strengths, weaknesses, and thought processes that were holding me back - and also provided ideas, recommendations, and feedback to rebuild my heart, my mind, my life.

It took a while, but I emerged from this darkness seeing the light.
