Parenting is hard. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Tantrums that don’t make sense. School refusal. Big emotions after a long day. Worry that keeps them up at night. Meltdowns after school. Pulling away from friends. If you’re wondering whether you should have noticed sooner, you’re not alone. Most parents feel the same way.

  • Play-based therapy

    Games, art, and storytelling help younger children express what words can't.

  • Skill-building focus

    Every session builds real tools — coping strategies, emotional vocabulary, and social skills your child can use every day.

  • Parent involvement

    You're part of the process. Regular check-ins and guidance so progress continues at home.

  • Developmental awareness

    Therapy is tailored to your child's developmental stage — from early childhood through pre-teen years.

Catherine was absolutely amazing! She listened to us and made us feel heard of what we needed and she helped us pick an amazing therapist for our sweet girl.

We felt very seen and heard which was really nice. The process of how or where to start feels a lot less intimidating which is great. Our intake specialist did a great job of recommending and explaining what the next steps would look like.

Parent of a 4 year old · Oct 26, 2026

She was very helpful and great with my daughter. I think she really encouraged her to take the next steps to having better mental health and got us matched with a great therapist we are looking forward to working with.

Megan was great! It was only the first session, but our daughter opened right up to her. My daughter was worried at first when we told her about going to therapy, but then I had found Emora Health and there was no wait to get started and being Telehealth made my daughter feel more comfortable as well.

Aishah asked a lot of good questions to know which therapist would be best for our son.

Parent of a 9 year old · Oct 7, 2026

Catherine really took the time to talk to me and get to know my child. I believe she fit us with the best people to help my daughter. We can't wait to get started.

Lucenda has been amazing, with my son and he also have a great time in every of his therapy session, and we have noticed that his behavior has improved significantly since his first session with Lucenda. Very grateful for her amazing work!

Madelyn said she loved her last session! She liked the different approach of drawing and trying to put her drawing into thoughts and feelings. It put less pressure on her! We are so glad to have Bianca helping us with Maddy and her tough emotions. We are so hopeful therapy will do tremendous things for our daughter!

Parent of an 11 year old · Nov 9, 2026

Wayne did such a wonderful job and stealing life values from the get-go! He was naturally talented at keeping our son engaged the entire time.

Being able to talk about my feelings and feeling like like I have a friend in just a break from the world

Parent of a 7 year old · Nov 11, 2026

We absolutely love Elsie! My daughter has ARFID and it was a challenge to find a therapist who could work with us and had a similar mind set. She has really opened up since working with Elsie and has been more open towards food.

Parent of an 11 year old · Nov 10, 2026

I liked how she paid attention and watched me speak instead of just looking around while I was talking, how she showed genuine interest in my interests.

Frequently asked questions

If your child is struggling with big emotions, behavior changes, school avoidance, or withdrawal from friends and activities, therapy can help.

You don't need a diagnosis to start. Many parents reach out simply because something feels off — and that instinct is worth following.

Yes. Therapy sessions are private and protected under HIPAA, even for minors. Your child's therapist will not share session details without consent, except in cases involving safety.

Parents receive regular updates on progress and goals without compromising your child's trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Yes — parent involvement is a core part of our approach. Your child's therapist will provide regular check-ins, progress updates, and strategies you can use at home.

For younger children, parents are often part of sessions directly. For older kids, your therapist will guide you on the right level of involvement.

Every child is different. Some children see meaningful progress in 8–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support.

Your child's therapist will set clear goals from the start and track progress so you always know where things stand.

Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and verify your coverage before your first appointment. Sessions cost $21 on average with insurance.

If you're unsure about your coverage, our team can check your benefits in minutes.

Yes. We offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children, conducted by licensed specialists. Evaluations include clinical interviews, standardized assessments, and a detailed report.

If your child is already diagnosed, we also provide ongoing therapy and support for managing ADHD symptoms.

We work with children from early childhood through adolescence. Our therapists have age-specific training and tailor their approach to your child's developmental stage.

Whether your child is 5 or 15, we match them with a therapist experienced in their age group.

This is very common — and it's okay. Many children feel nervous or resistant at first. Our therapists are skilled at building trust and making sessions feel safe and even enjoyable.

We also coach parents on how to introduce therapy in a way that reduces resistance. Most kids warm up within the first few sessions.

With insurance, a therapy session averages $20 and a medication visit $26. About 3 in 10 therapy sessions cost nothing.

Averages cover January to September 2026 and count visits after a family's deductible was met. Families still in their deductible pay more, and you'll see your own cost before you book.

Your child can start as soon as tomorrow, with after-school and evening times available.
