# Therapy programs

You’re not the only parent who feels like they’re focused on one child and ignoring everything (and everyone) else.

## It’s okay if you’re not sure what your child needs

As you read this, you may not be able to determine if your child is just going through a phase or if they’re struggling with a bigger problem. Or maybe you’re sure about what you see, you just don’t know how to help. Either way, you don’t have to figure it out alone. 

Care with Brightline starts with a diagnostic evaluation, which is a structured conversation between you, your child, and a Brightline clinician. It helps us gain a clear understanding of what’s going on in your child’s world so we can determine the right ways to help. In the follow-up session, you’ll get answers, a care plan recommendation, and relief. Depending on what your child is experiencing, they may begin care in one of Brightline’s therapy programs:

- Repeated or ritualized behaviors, overdoing things, intrusive thoughts, fears of not doing it “just right”
