"Our counselor was kind and gentle. It helped our kid get to a new place of growth and healing."

—Mother in NY whose child graduated from care

"My son is thriving and I love being able to stay connected through the app with his progress, plan, appointments, and easy quick access to his therapist!"

—Kaiser family, son age 8

"They took beautiful care of us. Little Otter is an excellent option for those who can’t leave the house, who need a check in with their kid and want to know how to support their child in tough times."

—Mother, 9 and 6 year old who graduated from care

"All the clinicians I worked with in the past 2 years were amazing and really made a difference for my family. I found Litter Otter life-changing for my family. Both my kids were able to get quality mental health care in the comfort of our home, and they both are doing great."

—Mother of 13 and 11 year old both in care

"My concerns and why we were initially seeking therapy stemmed from my son's social challenges and anxiety. He immediately developed a strong relationship with his therapist. You can see your kids open up and blossom, and see the development in real time. It's calming and reassuring that he's going to come out of the other side."

— Little Otter Parent

"Times are hard for these kids. They're going through things I didn't have to as a parent. Little Otter therapists are giving them the skills to navigate it. It's really beautiful to watch."

— Little Otter Parent

"You always want to think you can handle things as a family. But we don't always know what's best for our kids. Little Otter therapists and physicians can see things that we as parents can't see."

— Little Otter Parent

"I'm so pleased with the results we've gotten from Little Otter. Parenting is hard but it feels like I can just show up and say I need help, and they know exactly what to do."

— Little Otter Parent

"Little Otter is a game-changer. It is the solution that we needed and found that it worked for our family. It was effective, and thorough. My son was able to develop skills to help his anxiety, and he actually had fun. It’s so important at an early age for kids to have a healthy relationship with therapy."

— Little Otter Parent

"Other virtual therapy platforms aren’t like this. This service is so convenient and effective. My son would go to the school’s counseling office to attend sessions so he was getting the care he needed when it was convenient for our family."

— Little Otter Parent
