Brightline

Brightline is a pediatric behavioral health practice for children and teens up to age 18 and their parents. It offers outpatient therapy and psychiatry, diagnostic evaluations, medication management and psychological testing for autism, ADHD, learning differences and executive functioning, with focused programs for anxiety, OCD, ADHD and disruptive behaviour. Families in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut can use its New York-area clinics, video visits or both; families in Massachusetts and Washington can get therapy and psychiatry by video. In California it runs BrightLife Kids, a free state-funded coaching program. Brightline accepts plans including Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and Premera; its published self-pay prices are about $350 for a first therapy session, $200–$275 for ongoing therapy and $225–$350 for psychiatry. The only published study of the service is a 2023 company-funded retrospective study of 703 families, without a control group, in which most children's symptom scores improved.
