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.
Wellfam cares for every member of the family. By building a long-term relationship with our clients, families receive the support they need to grow and thrive together.
Wellfam makes getting help easy, accessible, and comfortable for children and their families. Without the added stress of running around town to juggle appointments, you can access quality online care for your child from licensed professionals.
Unlike other online therapy options that are just directories or technology platforms, Wellfam is an actual psychology practice staffed with a team of licensed professionals specifically trained in working with mature adults. Our licensed professionals are here to help you through any challenge.
