The highest quality mental health care for Georgia's students and families—no waitlists
1-1 Evidence-Based Therapy
Students (grades 3+) meet virtually with licensed therapists who specialize in supporting young people. Through regular sessions, typically for 10-12 weeks with some students engaging for up to one year, students learn to understand their emotions, develop practical coping skills, and build resilience to handle life's challenges.
Parent Guidance
One-on-one sessions with child mental health experts who provide personalized guidance on supporting a child's wellbeing. Parents and caregivers will get practical strategies and expert advice for managing specific concerns, from anxiety to school challenges.
Family Therapy
Joint sessions with students and family members focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. They work together with a family specialist to develop solutions that help everyone thrive.
Psychiatry & Medication Management
Comprehensive psychiatric support from experienced child psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, including evaluations, medication management, and ongoing care coordination. Treatment plans are tailored to each student's needs with regular monitoring to ensure effectiveness.
