national leader in online therapy for teens

Special support for the challenges of today’s kids and teens and their families.

Wellfam was founded by a leading national provider of online therapy, WellQor, to support children and teens (10+), and their families, as they navigate the unique challenges of growing up. Through our personalized care and collaborative approach, Wellfam helps children and teens build the skills to love themselves and live their best lives. 

Whether a change of school, a recent parent divorce, or social anxiety, our online therapists are specifically trained in, and sympathetic to, the issues of growing up and the effect these issues have on family dynamics. 

While there are many counselors that provide therapy for child, teen, and family issues, we put our long-term personal relationships with clients at the heart of everything we do so each person feels the esteem and confidence that comes from feeling consistently loved, supported, and valued. Whether you need us today or again in two years, Wellfam will be here ready to pick back up and help you through your challenge so that you can continue to love you more.

private, high-quality online therapy for teens

Wellfam’s innovative and comprehensive approach to care.

Wellfam is a new model in care – marrying the best of traditional and innovative options. Our patients and their families benefit from high-quality, data-informed care in an easy-to-connect format. Here are the five tenets of the Wellfam experience. 

  • Patient liaison: Your advocate who makes the process easy, matches you with a therapist you love, and checks in to make sure you are always happy with our service. 
  • Multidisciplinary treatment team: Your best-match licensed therapist helps your child find practical strategies to help improve their day-to-day life, and a clinical director that reviews the case file and data to ensure the most effective treatment plan is in place. 
  • Scientifically proven evidence-based practices: cognitive behavioral therapy and family systems therapy help you achieve measurable positive outcomes over the course of a treatment cycle.
  • Wellfam Emotional Vitals™: A set of individualized, objective measures are used to assess emotional health and measure progress against goals. 
  • Empowering easy-to-use technology: The Wellfam platform empowers you with comfortable, confidential multichannel communications that reduces stress and allows you to meet with a therapist from anywhere.

Client Testimonials

I can tell my therapist really cares and makes me feel supported. Since Wellfam, my relationship with my parents has really improved, and it’s been easier to put what I’m feeling into words. I realized it’s a skill that I hadn’t really learned.

My daughter’s therapist is like a family friend! My daughter looks forward to meeting her every time. Her therapist is well trained and is such a great fit for my daughter. Since she has met her therapist, I’ve seen her grow way more confident. It’s pretty amazing, and I’m so grateful!
