Questions from parents like you

Why should I trust Brightline’s care team?

Brightline was created for parents by parents who get it. Our team of licensed therapists and expert behavioral health coaches have years of experience doing evidence-based work with kids and teens of all ages. We’ll also keep you informed on your family’s progress, ensure your information is secure, and personalize your care plan — both from the start and as your child’s needs evolve.

What kind of support does Brightline provide? OLD

We provide therapy and medication management. Our sessions are held via video visit, and you have access to a secure website and app where you can track progress, make and see appointments, and access expert-backed resources. Brightline’s therapists and coaches are available Monday-Friday, 9 AM–6 PM local time.

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?

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 works with you and your child to change patterns of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that are causing distress for your family. Therapy is used to assess, diagnose, and treat more severe or complex conditions.

How much does it cost?

It depends. For most of our members, Brightline is covered by their employer or insurance — with no referrals needed. Check in sessions, therapy, and medication evaluation out-of-pocket costs can range from $235–$365.

We accept insurance from Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, and many more. Our Member Support team can help verify whether Brightline is covered by your insurance. If Brightline isn't covered by your insurance, your family can still access all that Brightline has to offer.

Call our Member Support team for information on how to submit to your insurance, HSA, or FSA. Member Support is available Monday–Friday from 8am–7pm PST at 888-224-7332.
