Handspring

At the heart of Handspring Health is a foundational belief that every child, adolescent, and young adult deserves access to high-quality mental health care precisely when they need it most. The company was born from a shared vision to address a silent pandemic of mental and behavioral health disorders among young people, a crisis where families often face insurmountable barriers like months-long waitlists, prohibitive costs, and a fragmented care system. Handspring was created to be a better care model, an evidence-based behavioral health center dedicated to providing not just essential treatment, but also the lifelong skills that empower young individuals to lead resilient and fulfilling lives. The culture is built on the principle of 'doing the right thing'—a commitment to putting patients first, treating clinicians as the most valuable asset, and contributing to a more sustainable healthcare system for everyone.

Handspring's approach is deeply rooted in a mission-driven and passionate team culture. They are redesigning the family mental healthcare experience from the ground up, building an omnichannel center that integrates both virtual care and modern in-person clinics. This hybrid model ensures that care is not only accessible but also tailored to the unique needs of each family, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all, virtual-only approach isn't always sufficient. By investing heavily in their therapists through comprehensive training in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), capping caseloads to ensure quality attention, and providing a supportive, collaborative environment, Handspring ensures its team is empowered to deliver the best possible outcomes. This dedication to both patients and providers is how Handspring aims to create a world where a child's mental health is cared for with the same urgency and importance as their physical health.
