Access to care takes more than an appointment. ESE supports uninsured students through district-specific indigent care funds and has secured private funding to help serve K–5 students. Our model is designed to support continuity of care as grant funding changes.
Supporting care over time
From ongoing school partnerships to care during summer and holiday breaks, ESE works to keep students connected to support.

About Us
Helping children get
the support they need.
ESE Mental Health is a Georgia-based teletherapy provider helping children, parents, and other adults access compassionate mental health care. Our work began around a clear purpose: removing barriers between children and the support they need.
Our mission
Remove barriers.
Connect children to care.
Our mission is simple: remove the barriers that stand between a child and the mental health support they need.
For many families, getting help can mean finding transportation, taking time away from work, navigating costs, or searching for an available provider. ESE works with schools and families to make that first step easier and help students stay connected to care.
What we do
A bridge between families and professional care.
ESE connects students, parents, and other adults with licensed mental health clinicians through virtual appointments. Our role is to make reaching out feel possible and help people take the next step.
Working together
A shared commitment
to children’s well-being.
Families, schools, and clinicians each play a part in helping children feel supported. ESE brings these relationships together around a shared purpose: giving children the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
By helping children access care, build coping skills, and develop trusting relationships, ESE works toward a future where asking for help is easier and support is within reach.

Support from school, home, or wherever you feel comfortable.
Virtual care helps remove travel and scheduling barriers while keeping professional support within reach. Reach out when you need support or want to understand your options. Appointments are scheduled with ESE; confirm availability for your location and choose a quiet, private space for your session.

Removing barriers to care
Sustainable support for your school community.
Transportation challenges, financial limitations, scheduling conflicts, staffing shortages, stigma, and funding gaps can stand between students and the support they need. ESE works with school partners to address those barriers and keep care accessible over time.
A model designed for continuity
ESE has built a model designed to become self-sustainable with utilization over time, which will continue to provide care, even if state grant funding fluctuates.
District-specific indigent care
ESE supports uninsured students through district-specific indigent care funds and has secured private funding to help serve K–5 students. Funding availability and eligibility depend on the district program.
Care during summer and holiday breaks
Treatment continues during summer and holiday breaks. Students can connect through an internet-connected device at school, at home, or while on break.
Less administrative work for schools
ESE manages scheduling, documentation, follow-up, and care coordination so school counselors and staff can focus on supporting students.
Support for parents, too.
Parents can contact ESE about confidential care for their own well-being, separately from seeking support for their child.
Contact Us
We want to help everyone.
Whether you’re a parent seeking confidential help for yourself, looking for care for your child, or exploring a school partnership, reach out to the ESE team. We can explain services, costs, appointment availability, and how to connect from your location.
