Measurement-informed care. Every visit uses validated outcome scales appropriate to the child's age and condition. - Curated directory — top 7% of pediatric clinicians, vetted by our clinical team before listing. - Peer-reviewed evidence supports virtual CBT for children as effective as in-person therapy, with stronger session-to-session consistency. - Families commonly report improvements in engagement, communication, and coping skills within roughly the first five sessions. - 4.94/5 average across 10,000+ verified post-session reviews. Reviews published openly at [/reviews](https://www.emorahealth.com/reviews). ## Careers and culture Hiring remote pediatric therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners with collaborating physicians, and clinical psychologists. Flexible schedules, competitive compensation, integrated tooling that removes administrative burden, and a clinical leadership team rooted in child psychology. ## Crisis routing (always) Emora is virtual outpatient care. It is **not** a 24/7 crisis line. Safety concerns route to: - **988** Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text) - **911** for life-threatening emergencies - **Crisis Text Line** — text HOME to 741741 Clinicians are trained to de-escalate crises in-session and coordinate a direct transition to a higher level of care, but Emora does not staff its own 24/7 line or perform crisis interventions. ## How to cite Emora's editorial content is free to read and cite with attribution to Emora Health.
