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.”

Manatee dad
“It’s so sweet - I am seeing my old daughter back. She seems much more carefree, like she used to be. She is able to joke around, laugh at herself more and she stopped shaming herself so much. My advice to other parents? Just do it, every minute you wait is a mistake.”

Manatee mom
“Manatee is a beautiful experience where kids can be themselves and someone understands them, and then as parents, the therapists help us better understand our kids. I would say that Manatee therapists have a great talent to speak with kids, they have the patience that as parents we often don't have. I would absolutely recommend it because its so practical (you can do it at home) and because kids need a space to be able to vent their feelings, which they cant do with their parents. Thank you Manatee for helping us stay on our feet!”

“Manatee has been a lifesaver in our household, especially when my kids are anxious... I love that I can see when they complete an activity, so I focus on the positive.”

Manatee dad
“I am way more patient now. You know as a dad… I tend to lecture, and then listen… now I've learned to listen to her first before making conclusions. I’ve also noticed that we are both more comfortable talking about our feelings overall. And, we had a great connection to our therapist, it was clear she had a lot of experience.”

Manatee mom
“She's not really anxious anymore. She has learned what to do when she is worried and has stopped picking her hair. She is also learning to stand up for herself and make better friends :)”

“The entire process was really simple and I appreciate the ease of it all. But most importantly, my kid ACTUALLY looks forward to every session! We love our therapist, the tool box and the family app that keeps us in the loop.”

We take most insurance plans, so it depends on your co-pay and deductible. However ,our consultations are 100% free and a great first step to get started. Our cash pay rates are:
Our 60 minute family intake, including a full mental health assessment and personalized care plan, is $220 for therapy.
Our child, parent or family therapy sessions are $200 (55 minutes).
-
Yes! We are an in-network provider with lots of insurance companies (United Healthcare, Optum, Cigna and Aetna) just let us know during your consultation and we’ll check for you.
We also provide your family with a “superbill” you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement (usually you’ll get about 50-70% reimbursed).
We do not take medicare or medicaid, but we are committed to making our care affordable and can offer services on a sliding scale (reducing cost to $75-$125 for a therapy session). Click here to learn more about affording our care.

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 our 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.
