Overview

Little Otter Health provides online mental health care specifically for children aged 0-14 and their families. The company offers a range of services including therapy, psychiatry, and couple’s counseling, all delivered through a digital platform. Their proprietary screening tool assesses the mental health needs of the entire family, allowing for the development of personalized care plans. This tailored approach has resulted in higher remission rates for children after 12 sessions compared to community averages, as well as notable improvements in parental mental health. Unlike many competitors, Little Otter focuses on early identification and prevention of mental health issues, making it easier for families to access care from home. The goal of Little Otter Health is to address the growing demand for pediatric mental health support and to provide effective, convenient care for children and their families.
