Bend Health
Collaborative care model that brings together therapists, coaches, and prescribers in one plan
Bend Health's integrated coaching model addresses one of the most common complaints about weekly therapy — that one hour per week is not enough support for children in active crisis. By adding between-session coaching check-ins, Bend provides more continuity of care than a traditional therapy-only model, and its Medicaid acceptance in select states makes it one of the more accessible options on this list.
✓ Pros
- Integrated coaching between therapy sessions provides more frequent touchpoints than weekly therapy alone
- Strong insurance coverage including Medicaid in select states, making it accessible to more income levels
- Serves ages 1–17 with developmental stage-appropriate approaches across the child age spectrum
✕ Cons
- Coaching model varies in depth depending on the coach assigned; experience can differ meaningfully by provider
- Less name recognition than Brightline means fewer employer benefits plans have pre-negotiated coverage
