What families say about Manatee

  • Manatee mom

    “Therapy made a big difference for us. I realized I need to be the one in charge, so my daughter feels safe again. Over the past year, my daughter has been pulling away, spending lots of time alone in her room, but since we started with Manatee, she’s way more social and enjoys her time with our family a lot more. Manatee in 3 words? Simple, effective, easy.”

    If we are not in-network, we can also provide your family with a Superbill you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement (usually you’ll get about 50-70% reimbursed).

  • YES. 84% of parents who accessed teletherapy for their child said they had a positive experience. Also 78% reported significant improvement in their child’s symptoms since starting teletherapy. (source)

    There are many reasons for virtual therapy, one being that we give all our families access to quality mental health care, because we’re able to hire the best therapists, regardless of location. And studies have shown that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. (source)

  • Our therapy services are currently available in California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania!

    States we’re launching next are Illinois and Texas!

  • We have services for kids 0-18!

    ✦ For parents with kids 0-4, we recommend parent counseling (though this is helpful for parents of kids of any age!).

    ✦ For kids between the ages of 4-7, family therapy works really well, which includes parents in sessions.

    ✦ For kids 6-18 we can provide individual child sessions, family sessions or a mix of both. It really depends on how we can best help your family.
