When we came in we were in emergency mode. We didn't have the skills. Now we are working on changing behavior in a positive way. We are in a much better place.

Our child-centered therapy for parents helps build patience, resilience, and skills
We provide specialized therapy and psychiatry 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.
All Brightline therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in their approach. CBT is a science-backed treatment that helps your child explore their feelings and develop healthy ways of coping. And all Brightline psychiatrists are board certified and qualified to offer necessary treatments based on evidence-based practices.
Ask us! During your onboarding, we will do an in-depth assessment. We will gather details about your child’s developmental history, as well as any patterns or changes you’ve noticed. Together, we will decide whether it's the right time for therapy. If it is, we’ll create a personalized care plan — with your input — that works for your child and your family. And we’ll measure progress as it goes, making changes along the way as needed.
You talk with us and learn, that’s how! We do all of the research, interviewing, background checking, and vetting — so you don’t have to. Our hiring process helps us build a team of caring, individual therapists that are licensed, experienced, and qualified.
We are happy to be able to support our families both virtually and in-person in 2025. While we build out our in-person locations, we will deliver virtual care to families who live in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Washington State. We are working towards opening our first location in April, with two more to follow in the fall.
