From a young age, Silja Litvin was fascinated by the science of people. Thankfully she's used this fascination as a clinical psychologist and developer of the emotional fitness game eQuoo. Silja and Lianna discuss her Resilience superpower, how modeling affected her mental & physical health, the full waiting rooms for help when working at NHS, emotional bids, and the benefit of gamifying therapy.
Silja Litvin, CEO and founder of PsycApps, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist with years of experience providing counseling and therapy, including in the NHS NELFT mood and eating disorder division. Her specialty is in clinical psychology (depression and anxiety) as well as systemic psychology, the science of relationships.
Silja has multiple articles published in peer-reviewed journals and two evidence-based mobile mental health applications making her one of the UK’s leaders in mobile mental health. Due to her rather unusual career of modeling for 17 years, Silja has a unique approach to both the commercial and academic aspect of her products as well as years of self-dependent working experience
Now she is venturing into the world of AI, gamification, and mobile mental health to find a way to be able to help people help themselves, launching her emotional fitness game eQuoo worldwide. It is the only game on the NHS Apps Library and has been featured in major news outlets such as Forbes and TechCrunch and she won multiple prizes with PsycApps such as THE EUROPAS Pitch Awards and Pitch@Palace on Tour.
