GLOBAL, October 1, 2025 – CodeCalm, a mental wellness platform created by and for tech professionals , launches today.
The platform delivers comprehensive mental health services tailored to the unique challenges confronting developers, designers, and other tech workers, like burnout, imposter syndrome, and the pressures of high-stress work environments.
Traditional therapy does not always work for tech professionals because therapists have not been trained to deal with industry-specific stressors such as shipping code under time constraints, isolation of working remotely, and the ever-present learning curve of emergent technologies.
CodeCalm was founded by tech professionals who experienced these pressures directly and knew that there needed to be a specialized mental health support within the industry.
“The tech community has a serious outbreak of mental illness. Long hours, high stress, imposter syndrome, and poisonous office cultures are getting talented minds down. We know what it’s like to debug code at 2 AM while managing anxiety, to struggle with unrealistic deadlines while battling depression,” said Leke Ariyo, co-founder of CodeCalm.
The platform has already had great impact, assisting more than 10,000 tech workers through over 500 support sessions, with 95% of users seeing a substantial increase in well-being.
The platform’s impact is further evidenced through testimonials from tech professionals across various roles. Users have reported significant improvements in managing anxiety, establishing healthier work boundaries, and developing sustainable work-life balance practices.
“Mental health challenges are becoming a common theme in tech, yet there’s not a lot of dedicated resources for our industry, nothing that feels built for us. We’re committed to making CodeCalm open, practical, and impactful, a community that makes it easier to talk, share, and heal together,” said Tosin Ayodele, co-founder of CodeCalm.
The community-driven approach has proven particularly effective for remote developers dealing with isolation, with virtual community events providing meaningful connections while respectfully accommodating introverted working styles.
Core Services Include:
– Therapy & Counseling: Experienced therapists who get the tech culture and the stress of the workplace
– Mindfulness & Meditation: Special guided sessions tailored for busy developer and tech worker
– Peer Support Groups: A safe community to talk with others who have had similar experiences in tech
– Resources & Tools: Priceless articles, podcasts, and resources for maintaining mental well-being
Beyond these, CodeCalm also makes provision for frequent workshops and events, like upcoming workshops on mindful coding, tech stress management panels, and imposter syndrome support groups. The platform provides 24/7 peer support through its community Discord server, as well as mentorship by seasoned senior tech professionals and anonymous discussion groups.
