Built for kids and teens, here for you

Navigating parenthood can be difficult enough. Getting help shouldn't be. Brightline is here for you.

Hi there!

I’m Naomi, co-founder & CEO of Brightline. Our expert care team provides families with in-network virtual therapy, coaching, & psychiatry for kids & teens.

I started Brightline because when my son started showing signs of anxiety, navigating the broken system showed me firsthand how hard finding trustworthy care for your kids can be. Between sitting on months-long waitlists and being sent to provider directories without getting in touch with an actual human—all while my child still didn’t have the care he needed—it took a toll on my own mental health. 

Through Brightline, I hope to give families like yours the support I wish mine had — personalized expert care, when you actually need it.

When you’re helping your kid navigate behavioral & mental health challenges like self-esteem issues, social-emotional skills, ADHD or depression, you can think of us as your trusted partner in parenting. Parenthood can be difficult enough, but getting help shouldn’t be.

We can’t wait to meet your family! 

— Naomi Allen, Co-founder & CEO
