Over 3,000 families have completed care with Manatee
"Thank you so much for your life-changing help. You pulled us out of a difficult situation and brought us back to a better place. We truly appreciate you, and we will be happy to recommend you and Manatee to our friends and family. You have steered our lives, especially with our teenager, toward a path of togetherness, understanding boundaries and structure, and compassion."
Manatee mom of a 16-year-old
"Our provider gave us great tips and goals to work toward specifically with our 4-year old son. He was working through anxiety around trying new things/new experiences and school. He’s now a thriving 5-year old going to all day young 5’s at our local elementary school. Manatee also assisted us with our 2-year old spirited daughter. We learned to nurture her independence while providing safe and healthy boundaries."
Manatee mom of two
"Wonderful experience. Three of my children have received therapy through Manatee (two still are) and I am currently enrolled in parent counseling. My children have a variety of diagnoses and finding a good fit, someone who truly 'gets it', is not easy. Our providers have been a blessing to our family and I couldn't say 'thank you' enough."
Manatee mom of three
"My husband and I recently got new jobs that require a lot of transition for our little family of three. A friend recommended manatee and said it was really helpful in times of any transition, so we tried it and couldn't be happier. We are communicating more often and finding our way through tough conversations. Highly recommend!"
Manatee mom of one
"My child is super proud of himself and I am still shocked at how easy a transition it was for him - and honestly I start my day feeling a lot less resentful or overwhelmed too! All thumbs up and hearts in the morning over here!"
