Fully employed clinical team
Handspring is not a gig-economy marketplace. Our therapists aren’t 1099 contractors scattered across a loose network — they’re W-2 employees. We invest in our providers so they can invest in your members.
Deep clinical training
Most therapists enter the field without adequate training in evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT, leading to inconsistent care that drives poor outcomes and higher costs. But at Handspring, we don’t leave quality to chance. Our therapists understand what works, why it works, and how to deliver it with precision — especially for children and teens.
Complex care for higher-acuity youth
Too often, children with self-harm, suicidality, and other complex needs are turned away from outpatient care and sent to the ED or IOP. We fill the gap, treating these patients safely and effectively.
Better engagement that leads to better outcomes
Support for the whole family
Meeting a wide range of needs
Our care program
We leverage core components of DBT and CBT to deliver a cost-effective and highly efficacious care model that is appropriate for wide levels of acuity and focused on long-term reduction of symptoms.
Meet our expert therapists
Our clinicians are our employees, not a network of contractors anyone can join. When you refer students to Handspring, you're connecting them with a carefully selected group of clinicians you can trust.

What parents are saying
“Lindsay LITERALLY changed not just my daughter's life, but our entire family dynamic. We thought we were going to have to consider homeschool, as she was experiencing debilitating separation anxiety. We assumed she would end up on medication - not only did she not need medication, she has not missed a single day of school this year.”
“Megan was so valuable to our family during a trying time in our lives. My son needed someone to understand him and show him how to ask for help when he needs it. He has gone from failing multiple classes to being an honor student. He’s been so helpful around the house and is all around a happy child. We’re so grateful that we made the choice to go with Handspring.”
“There has been a marked change in my daughter's ability to cope with anxiety and stressors and using the coping skills she learned she has been able to get through situations that she couldn't before. Her self confidence has also increased. Many thanks to Shanna - my daughter was sad to not see her each week any more, but the reason for that was a great one.”
“I have seen a huge improvement in the way my daughter communicates, manages her emotions, and behaves since she started her weekly sessions. I am so grateful to see such a positive impact with her and within a short period of time. Tried other solutions and none worked. Thankful for Handspring services helping our family."

“Every aspect has been great so far. The onboarding process was quick and easy - everyone was so professional, responsive, and compassionate. Our child was quickly matched with a therapist with a suitable personality, style, and approach. Additionally, the parents’ needs are being addressed as well - the option to have that support is invaluable!”
“We were so happy with the care our son received. There has been such a change in him over the past year and we are so grateful! Morgan was able to connect with him so well and teach him so many skills that he now uses every day. Thank you all so much for everything you have done!”
“My daughter had such a positive experience with Handspring. Christine was amazing with her and my daughter felt very comfortable talking to her. My daughter’s self confidence and attitude have improved drastically since starting Handspring. Thank you so much!”

“Natasha was extremely patient and kind, but also very clear and honest with my daughter when speaking to her. She also handled dealing with myself and my ex extremely professionally and was always available to help when I had any concerns outside of my daughter’s appointment.”
“Michael built a great relationship with my son early on in the sessions, therefore my son felt extremely comfortable speaking to him and opening up about his feelings. Michael was kind, fun and gave excellent coping techniques. My son is much more open and vocal with his feelings and uses Michael’s techniques when he’s upset or getting frustrated.”
