9 Online Therapy Services We Tested and Recommend to Support Kids and Families

Mental health conditions don’t just impact adults; they can affect kids as young as 3.^[1] In fact, diagnoses of mental health issues in children and adolescents have increased exponentially in recent years in the United States. In the last six years alone, over 6 million children have been diagnosed with ADHD, over 5.8 million have been diagnosed with anxiety, and nearly 3 million have been diagnosed with depression.^[2] The good news is the sooner your kid is diagnosed, the faster they can get the help they need.
