I always knew I wanted to work with children. In medical school, I loved general pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and psychiatry. I ended up going into general pediatrics. As a general pediatrician, I saw the great need for better behavioral and developmental care. General pediatric visits are short and did not allow me the time to fully help my families. Now, I can really focus and help children and families thrive!”

Why is online care with Brightline so effective?

A heartwarming scene of interaction between a parent and child at a wooden table, with the young person wearing a bright yellow knit sweater engaging in what appears to be an educational card game. Indoor setting with houseplants in the background.

Convenient

Proven, evidence-based care — no commute, no parking, no running late. The right care from the comfort of home. 

Simple connection

We know you’re busy. When you need to communicate with us, it’s as simple as logging on for the appointment.

Safe & consistent

When the whole day isn’t planned around getting to a session, your child is more relaxed, and their care becomes more effective. 

Online & on track

We can adjust your child’s care plan and track their progress online, ensuring their continued development and well-being.

Online care for every age, stage, and need

Toddlers & Kids

  • Young kids with clinical-level concerns including anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral issues can benefit from sessions that take place in familiar surroundings.

Kids & Teens

  • Older kids, teenagers, and parents with busy schedules can log in from home and relax knowing their conversation is secure.

Parent session

  • Online visits make it easy for parents to ask questions between sessions, or get an update from a clinician without ever having to leave home or the office.

How does online care lead to better outcomes for your family?

Your child’s needs can change. With both in-person and online care, we’re able to continuously measure their progress to make sure the care plan still fits. If it doesn’t, we make adjustments, ensuring every child gets the care they need. 


We will set goals for your child’s care, track progress, provide between-session resources, and have a positive impact on your whole family — all online.
