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.

All our therapists use a proven method called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and our coaching programs are guided by CBT.

It’s okay if you don’t know what the right care is for your child — our team will recommend the right type of care and will support you every step of the way.

Brightline offers virtual mental health coaching and therapy for families with kids and teens ages 0 to 17 years old. Brightline’s expert team of coaches, therapists, and prescribers offer live sessions for your child to support a broad spectrum of needs.
When you sign up for Brightline, your family will have immediate access to confidential care and resources for parents and caregivers to support their kids’ mental well-being, including:
Connect+ Membership: Serves as a digital front door to direct families to the right care based on validated clinical assessments. You also have access to an expanded content library plus group classes and on-demand chat with a personal Brightline Coach.

This benefit is available to all Amazon employees and members of their households, including children who are aged 0 to 17 years. It covers up to 5 coaching and/or therapy sessions per eligible member per issue per year at no cost to the employee.
In addition, Amazonians in the U.S. enrolled in Cigna, Aetna or Premera medical plans through Amazon can avail Brightline as a covered benefit once the 5 sessions per issue per eligible member are exhausted for coaching and therapy. Medication management may also be covered by these medical plans. Standard cost share will apply when medical plan coverage is used. Brightline will check and confirm eligibility when members sign up.
Brightline supports kids and teens ages 0-17 and their families, with care tailored to their unique needs.
In coaching, for kids ages 0-5 we mainly work with parents and caregivers to build their skills to manage emerging challenges and create a supportive environment that encourages healthy development in their children, and for ages 6-17 we both work directly with kids and teens as well as parents and caregivers to learn strategies to cope with challenges as well as build strengths and resilience as they grow.
Behavioral therapy and medication support, including diagnostic evaluations and treatment, are available for kids ages 2-17 for therapy and 6-17 for medication management to manage more complex, higher acuity challenges that are deeply impacting the child’s daily functioning.
Teens who turn 18 while in our care will continue to receive support as appropriate and providers will create a transition plan for their next chapter.
Coaching deals with behaviors or emotions that your child is experiencing in shorter, focused sessions. Expert behavioral health coaches teach new skills that address things like separation anxiety or tantrums. Coaches then practice these skills with the child, motivating them to work towards positive change and reaching their goals.
In therapy, the therapist or psychologist and your child work together to look at behaviors and emotions and then try to understand the root cause of them. By asking bigger "why" questions and diving into the past, symptoms can be identified and reduced. Therapy is also used to assess, diagnose, and treat more severe or complex conditions.
All Brightline coaches hold a master’s degree in a psychology-related field or a bachelor’s degree with a coaching certification and have 5+ years of experience working with children, teens, and families. All Brightline therapists are licensed mental health professionals with a master’s degree and are highly trained to support children, teens, and families.
Yes. One recent survey showed that 85% of parents who had a child participating in virtual behavioral health services said their child benefited from that care. We know that for some kids and teens, it’s not always easy 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.
