How Little Otter Works
What to expect when using Little Otter to support your child’s mental health and your family’s wellness
Little Otter provides personalized therapy for kids 0-14 who are struggling with big feelings and tough challenges.
Little Otter’s collaborative, evidence-based therapy includes a “whole family” approach, because when a kid is having a hard time, so is the whole family.
We ensure parents have the tools and coaching they need to help too, because even though our sessions are really effective, we know that the hard work happens at home.
Little Otter’s team of childhood mental healthcare experts is run by Dr. Helen Egger, our Chief Medical & Scientific Officer, a world-renowned child psychiatrist who has chaired programs at Duke University and NYU. Dr. Egger’s vision is that we normalize mental healthcare for kids, so that it’s ok for kids who are having a tough time and trying to navigate big feelings to get the professional help they need.
When you work with Little Otter, you have a team of experts on your side, so you have multiple points of contact to ensure you have the mental healthcare, support and guidance you need, when you need it.
