It is authored. It is sovereign. It is rooted in culture, lineage, and three decades of clinical wisdom.
The digital mental health market is projected to reach $17.5 billion by 2030. Nearly every major player relies on generative AI. This creates a structural vulnerability: the clinical datasets powering these AI models are overwhelmingly Western, white-normative, and anglophone.
| User Experience | AI Interpretation | ENRICH Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Jamaican woman: “My mother stays in my business” | Enmeshment, boundary violation | Relational closeness normative in collectivist families |
| Nigerian man holding grief for extended family | Emotional avoidance, suppression | Collective grief-holding as cultural practice |
| Dominican teen consulting grandmother before decisions | Codependence, lack of autonomy | Intergenerational wisdom-seeking; healthy relational structure |
| Indian woman prioritizing family honor | Self-sacrifice, people-pleasing | Navigation of duty and selfhood within a collectivist moral framework |
ENRICH’s response is not to add a cultural sensitivity filter on top of a biased model. It is to build from a completely different epistemological foundation.
Every ENRICH companion operates on a proprietary response architecture: curated response libraries, decision trees, keyword matching, and structured conversation flows. No external API calls. No generative model. Every word authored by the clinician.
64 deployed companions — the largest library of culturally-responsive wellness tools in market
Zero AI liability — no hallucinations, no data exposure, no cultural harm
Defensible moat — three decades of clinical authorship cannot be replicated
Four-billion-person addressable market — the Global Majority, underserved by every AI tool
Every response was written by a clinician. No hallucination risk. Every word is intentional.
ENRICH begins with the cultural wisdom of the Global Majority. The culture is not the footnote. It is the foundation.
Your data never leaves your device. Your stories are not training material. Data sovereignty is a requirement.
The capacity to understand what it means to carry your grandmother’s silence in your own throat.
For most of the world, distress lives in relationships, families, communities, and histories.
“I’m fine” in a Caribbean family means something different than in a suburban American household.
Every response can be reviewed, challenged, and improved.

We believe that intelligence in a therapeutic context has never been about generating novel sentences. It is about knowing which response this specific person needs in this specific moment.
A large language model can produce a grammatically perfect paragraph about intergenerational trauma. It cannot understand what it means to carry your grandmother’s silence in your own throat. The clinician who authored ENRICH’s responses can.
That understanding — earned, embodied, culturally situated — is Sovereign Intelligence.

Everything you want to know about Sovereign Intelligence and why ENRICH chose a different path.
No. ENRICH uses Sovereign Intelligence™ — a clinician-authored response architecture. Every single response across all 64 companions was written by Sherry Jerimie, a licensed psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst with over 30 years of clinical experience.
There is no generative AI, no large language model, no ChatGPT, no API calls to any external AI service. The companions operate on curated response libraries, decision trees, keyword matching, and structured conversation flows. This means zero hallucination risk, zero data harvesting, and zero cultural harm.
Because AI wellness tools are built on datasets that are overwhelmingly Western, white-normative, and anglophone. When a Jamaican woman says “my mother stays in my business,” a typical AI interprets enmeshment and boundary violation. A clinician who understands Caribbean family culture recognizes relational closeness normative in collectivist families.
A language model can produce a grammatically perfect paragraph about intergenerational trauma. It cannot understand what it means to carry your grandmother’s silence in your own throat. The clinician who authored ENRICH’s responses can. That gap — between generating text and understanding lived experience — is precisely where cultural harm happens.
ENRICH chose authorship over automation because our communities deserve intelligence that comes from understanding, not probability.
Nothing leaves your device. Period. Unlike AI-powered wellness tools that send your conversations to remote servers for processing, ENRICH companions run entirely client-side. Your words, your reflections, your most vulnerable moments — none of it is transmitted, stored, or used to train any model.
This is what we mean by data sovereignty. Your healing space is truly yours. No server logs. No conversation history on our end. No third-party analytics companies reading your pain. When you close the app, your session belongs to you alone.
Sherry Jerimie, LCSW-R — Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Psychoanalyst with over three decades of clinical experience serving the Global Majority. Her practice spans Caribbean, African, South Asian, and Latinx communities across the diaspora.
Every response in every companion was written from clinical wisdom, not generated by a machine. This means every word carries the weight of thousands of hours in the consulting room, the understanding of cultural nuance that no training dataset can replicate, and the ethical accountability of a licensed clinician standing behind her work.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) generates responses using statistical probability from training data. It predicts what word should come next based on patterns. It does not understand meaning, context, or cultural significance. It cannot know why a Nigerian man holding grief for his extended family is practicing collective grief-holding, not emotional avoidance.
Sovereign Intelligence is clinician-authored intelligence — every response crafted with intentionality, cultural understanding, and therapeutic purpose. It is “sovereign” because it belongs to the communities it serves, not to the tech companies that profit from their data. It is intelligence rooted in embodied clinical experience, not extracted from the internet.
Adding a “cultural sensitivity filter” on top of a biased model does not make it culturally responsive. It makes it politely biased. True cultural responsiveness requires understanding the epistemological frameworks of the communities being served — not just their demographics, but their ways of knowing, healing, and relating.
AI can be a powerful tool for many applications. But in the therapeutic space, where a wrong interpretation can pathologize normal cultural behavior, ENRICH believes the risk is too great and the communities we serve have been harmed enough by systems that did not understand them.
No. ENRICH companions are psychoeducational tools — they are therapeutic, not therapy. They help you understand yourself, your patterns, your cultural inheritance, and your possibilities. They provide the language and framework for self-understanding that can complement therapy, prepare you for therapy, or support you when therapy is not accessible.
Every companion includes crisis resources, daily limits to prevent emotional overwhelm, and clear boundaries about what a companion can and cannot do. If you are in crisis, ENRICH will always direct you to appropriate clinical support.
Because every response is auditable. Unlike AI-generated text (where you cannot trace why a particular sentence was produced), every ENRICH response was deliberately written by a licensed clinician and can be reviewed, challenged, and improved. There is a human being accountable for every word.
This is one of the Seven Principles of Sovereign Intelligence: Auditable and Accountable. If a response feels wrong to you, that feedback goes directly to the clinician who wrote it — not to a black-box algorithm that cannot explain itself.
64 wellness companions. Zero artificial intelligence. Every word written by a clinician who understands the wound.
