Little Otter

At the heart of Little Otter is a culture born from a deeply personal family experience and a mission to revolutionize mental healthcare for children and their families. Founded by the mother-daughter duo, Dr. Helen Egger, a world-renowned child psychiatrist, and Rebecca Egger, a seasoned tech executive, the company is built on the belief that every child deserves access to high-quality mental health support. This conviction stems from their own journey navigating the complexities of the healthcare system, which ignited a passion to create a more accessible, empathetic, and effective solution for all families. The culture at Little Otter is one of compassion, scientific rigor, and innovation. They are not just providing a service; they are creating a movement to destigmatize mental health challenges and integrate mental wellness into the fabric of everyday family life, just like a regular pediatric check-up.

The team operates on a set of core values that prioritize a 'whole-family' approach. They understand that a child's well-being is intrinsically linked to the health and happiness of their entire family unit. This philosophy is woven into their care model, which provides personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that include therapy, psychiatry, and parent coaching. By leveraging technology, Little Otter breaks down traditional barriers to care, such as long wait times and geographical limitations, ensuring that expert help is available right from the comfort of home. The company fosters a collaborative environment where clinicians are empowered to provide the best possible care, backed by data and the latest research in child psychology. This commitment to measurable outcomes and transparent, science-backed treatment sets a new standard in pediatric mental health, aiming to support families at every stage of their journey and help children build a foundation for a healthy, happy life.
