Our Story
My Quiet Cafe was born from a simple but powerful realization amongst friends while having coffee one afternoon.
It was during that coffee we stumbled on the fact how each of us, without ever getting into any individuals details, are continually approached by strangers, friends, neighbors, and coworkers who desire to openly discuss with each of us (one-on-one) their personal trials and tribulations. Not looking for advice but instead are just needing an ear from someone who cares. This conversation paved the way to defining some critical themes we could no longer ignore.
Everyday people really need a calm, quiet, place where they can go and talk to someone. Not a therapist. Not for advice necessarily. But a quiet space to just talk things through with someone who will listen, who cares, is non-judgmental, and maybe has some pearls of wisdom that they can share to help reduce stress, reduce anxiety, bring calm, and perhaps even share possible frameworks for thinking through or processing various emotions, frustration, struggles, or challenges - so they can reduce stress, anxiety, or suffering - and can move forward both peacefully and confidently in life.
The other theme we found (must be why we are friends) is that throughout each of our lives we repeatedly find strangers, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and collaborators continuously opening up to us in one-on-one situations about everything going on in their life or work. Knowing intuitively that we will just listen. Why us? After inviting a world-renown psychologists to have coffee with us and analyze us, his conclusion was - we all simply share a very rare suite of collective yet powerful traits. Among any storm, we all think with a sense of calmness and poise to help define realistic responses to highly charged and sensitive situations. We all truly care about the people we meet with and are non-judgmental - accepting of everyone. We all have an instant likability and connectedness with people because they know in our spirit, we care. But, most importantly, because people know we truly care and is why we are instantly trusted by everyone we meet. That the only thoughts, or pearls of wisdom, we share are out of a genuine commitment to someone's personal success in all that life has to offer both personally and professionally.
In an era where screens have replaced real connection — and where even AI now fills conversational space — we see this growing gap. People are feeling more isolated than ever, craving meaningful interaction that feels human, personal, and safe. So we created My Quiet Cafe — a virtual space where anyone can come to feel heard. Whether you're navigating challenges at home or work, or simply need to speak your mind out loud, this is your space. A calm corner to pause, connect, and be supported. The need is real — the data confirms it — but more importantly, you deserve a place where your voice matters.

The Numbers Don't Lie - The New Pandemic is Already Here. Americans are lonely and need someone (not always a therapist) who will just listen.
Mental Health America and other similar organizations have found that 70% to 80% of people experiencing emotional distress say they simply want someone to listen and understand without offering advice or judgment.
A 2021 Harvard study on loneliness and connection found that 36% of all Americans (including 61% of young adults) frequently feel lonely—and that many of them don’t necessarily want solutions, but rather empathy and someone to talk to.
In therapeutic settings, Carl Rogers' person-centered therapy emphasized unconditional positive regard—which continues to influence how people report feeling most supported: when they're listened to non-judgmentally.
Over 60% of U.S. adults report feeling lonely regularly. People are craving genuine human connection, not advice or judgment. Most don’t want therapy — they just want to feel heard.
