Brightline

The most comprehensive virtual behavioral health system built exclusively for kids and families

Brightline has built the most clinically complete virtual mental health platform designed specifically for children and adolescents. Rather than routing families to a single therapist, Brightline assembles a coordinated care team that includes coaching, therapy, and psychiatry under one roof. For families whose insurance is accepted, it is the closest thing to a pediatric behavioral health system that operates at scale.

✓ Pros

  • Full care team model pairs each family with a dedicated coach, therapist, and psychiatrist — not just one provider
  • Serves children as young as 18 months through age 17, covering a wider developmental span than any competitor
  • In-network with major commercial insurers including Cigna, Aetna, Blue Shield, and many regional plans

✕ Cons

  • Not available in all 50 states — coverage continues to expand but check availability for your state first
  • Full care team model can feel like a lot of onboarding touchpoints before active treatment begins
