expand_more expand_less

When you join Brightline, you’ll start by answering a few questions about your child’s needs and goals. These questions will help inform the conversation with your therapist during your first live video session. Common challenges addressed in sessions include: anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep, tough transitions, low self-esteem, starting school, navigating identities, speech, and meeting milestones or goals. You’ll also get access to Brightline’s library of resources.

How much does it cost?

expand_more expand_less

Brightline partners with health plans in CT, MA, NJ, NY, and WA. If you think Brightline may be covered for you, contact your insurance company or send a message to Member Support so they can help verify your coverage. If Brightline isn't covered by your insurance, your family can still access all that Brightline has to offer. Our Member Support team can provide you with information to submit to your insurance, HSA, or FSA. If you live in California, we provide BrightLife Kids, which is sponsored by CalHOPE. BrightLife Kids includes coaching, language interpretation, and guidance finding local resources. This is provided at no cost – and no insurance needed. If you have any questions, call 888-224-7332 to speak with a Member Support specialist.

What are the backgrounds of the therapists?

expand_more expand_less

All Brightline therapists are licensed mental health professionals with at least a master’s degree. They are highly trained to support children, teens, and families in evidence-based therapy practices.

Is virtual care effective for kids and teens?

expand_more expand_less

We know that for some kids and teens, it’s not always comfortable to talk to someone new about their challenges or feelings. Kids often feel more relaxed and open to sharing from the comfort and privacy of their home.

In addition to being more private and convenient, we also know that virtual care is highly effective. One recent survey showed 85% of parents who used virtual behavioral health services said their child benefited from that care.

What is Brightline’s approach to care?

expand_more expand_less

All Brightline therapists practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a science-backed treatment that helps your child explore their feelings and develop healthy ways of coping.

At Brightline, we provide specialized support that involves parents and caregivers in their child’s journey. Everything you need is in one place — as your family’s needs change, your care plan will evolve with you.
