FAQs

  • In most cases, YES!

    You can schedule your free consultation today and if you’re a good fit we’ll be able to match your family with a therapist right away.

  • YES. There are many reasons for virtual therapy, one being that we can give you access to THE BEST child and family therapists, regardless of your location!

    Besides, as parents ourselves, we know how busy life gets. Families find it a lot easier to join their sessions when they can avoid traffic, parking and wrestling their kids in the car!

    Studies have also found that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions (source).

  • This is a question that kept us up at night, so we’ve designed our services to make sure your family ALWAYS has clarity on your progress!

    How? We start our care plan with a full assessment. This will be your ‘week 0’ baseline. After 6 weeks, we’ll do the assessment again, so you know exactly where your family has made progress.

    But this is not all. In between your weekly sessions we’ll work together on goals that you track in your Manatee family app.

    All to say, we’ve designed our model to make your family successful!
