Adolescent health is often addressed only after problems arise.
WeGotYou was designed to change that.
Our model provides teens with a trusted provider and preventative support long before a crisis occurs.
Trust Built Over Time
Meaningful conversations rarely happen in rushed medical appointments. Through consistent interactions with the same provider, teens gradually develop the comfort needed to speak openly about their experiences.
Early Insight
Many adolescent challenges develop slowly. Without ongoing relationships, these changes can go unnoticed until they become more serious. Regular check-ins allow providers to identify concerns early.
A Safe Space for Teens
Teens often need a trusted adult outside their immediate family. WeGotYou creates a confidential environment where adolescents can ask questions and explore sensitive topics with professional support.
Support for Families
Parents gain peace of mind knowing their teen has consistent access to a knowledgeable provider. WeGotYou complements the role of families rather than replacing it.
A Different Model of Care
Traditional care offers annual pediatric visits or weekly therapy after concerns escalate. WeGotYou provides the missing middle — ongoing preventative care designed specifically for adolescents.

Trusted care, before it’s needed.

Drawing on her extensive pediatric background, she combines clinical precision with a deep understanding of mental health, ensuring that every patient receives individualized, developmentally informed, and medically safe care.

Samantha Kesten, WHNP
Co-Founder & Clinical Lead, Reproductive Health
Samantha Kesten is a Columbia-trained Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in adolescent reproductive health, puberty, and hormonal development. With over 15 years of experience, she is known for creating a calm, supportive environment where teens feel comfortable speaking openly and families feel guided with clarity and confidence. Her approach balances clinical expertise with a nuanced understanding of family values and adolescent autonomy, allowing for conversations that are both respectful and essential.
Samantha has worked alongside Shayna for over a decade, frequently sharing patients and recognizing a consistent need for more integrated care. Adolescents navigating both mental and reproductive health concerns were often left moving between providers — without continuity, context, or relationship.
WeGotYou was built to change that.
She leads reproductive health within the model, ensuring care is seamless, developmentally appropriate, and aligned with a preventative, relationship-based approach.
