Sisters Launch Kincove: Family-Centered, Brain-Based Teen Therapy & Wellness in LA

Los Angeles, CA - August 5, 2025 - Qwoted Newswire - With teen mental health struggles at a record high, sisters Emily and Sophia Waitt have launched Kincove, a Los Angeles-based therapy and wellness center dedicated to adolescents, young adults, and their families. Designed to address rising rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide, Kincove offers a proactive, neuroscience-backed model of care that focuses on prevention, resilience-building, and whole-family support.

“Teens today are facing an unprecedented mental health crisis,” said Emily Waitt, Co-Founder and Clinical Director. “Their brains are still wiring and reshaping well into their twenties, while they navigate pressures like social media, nonstop academic demands, and post-pandemic stress. Kincove was created to intervene early, build resilience, and equip both teens and families with tools that prevent crises before they start.”

“Too often, mental health care is reactive,” added Sophia Waitt, Co-Founder. “We founded Kincove to change that, shifting the focus to prevention, skill-building, and developmentally attuned care so families no longer have to wait for a crisis to get help.”

Kincove’s approach goes beyond traditional therapy, creating an environment that feels safe, inspiring, and restorative. The center’s walls are adorned with a hand-painted mural symbolizing growth and connection, while a curated library offers books for teens and parents exploring mental health and wellness. Open gathering spaces encourage a sense of community, helping adolescents feel welcomed and understood from the moment they walk through the door.

“This isn’t a sterile setting. It’s a vibrant, restorative environment designed to reflect our belief that healing happens best in spaces that feel alive and connected,” Sophia said.

Kincove provides individual, family, and group therapy, parent coaching, neurofeedback, and virtual sessions statewide. Its multidisciplinary team specializes in adolescent brain development and integrates neuroscience-backed interventions with a warm, family-centered approach.

By combining relational therapy, neuroscience, and tech-driven wellness tools, Kincove offers a model designed not only to treat crises but to prevent them, giving teens and families the foundation they need to thrive.

Looking ahead, the founders see Kincove as the foundation for a larger movement in youth mental health care. “Our vision is to expand Kincove’s reach, bringing our neuroscience-backed, family-centered approach to more communities,” said Emily. “Our goal is to create a ripple effect, where early support becomes the norm, not the exception.”

Kincove officially opened its doors this summer at 1150 S Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA.
