About Whole Child Therapy
Whole Child Therapy emerged from a vision shared by husband-and-wife occupational therapists Dennis and Ina Necesito, who recognized an opportunity to create something unique – a practice that truly sees and treats each child as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms.
Our Growth Story: Starting with just 700 square feet in Claremont in 2018, we've grown into a thriving practice with two locations, serving families through both outpatient clinics and school partnerships. Our commitment to holistic treatment and family-centered care has resonated throughout the community, leading to steady growth through five-star reviews and word-of-mouth referrals.
What Sets Us Apart:
- Whole-Child Approach: Our neurodiversity-affirming philosophy builds on each child's unique strengths and addresses their needs within their complete life context, not just isolated therapy goals
- Therapist-Owned & Operated: Led by clinicians who understand the profession and prioritize both exceptional client care and creating an environment where our team flourishes
- Collaborative Environment: Our multidisciplinary team works together, fostering a culture of support and shared expertise
- Dual Setting Options: Flexibility to work in our outpatient clinics or school-based settings
- Proven Track Record: 500 weekly clinic sessions plus extensive school partnerships demonstrate our community impact and stability
- Our Services: We specialize in pediatric occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, assistive technology, AAC services, and social skills programs, partnering with school districts, charter schools, and non-public schools throughout the region.
