Our Story

I was at a community event a while back and was enjoying the program.  Within minutes of the commencement a new friend of mine took her rambunctious 3 year old, who was very recently diagnosed with autism, out in the hall as to not distract the audience.  As I turned to smile at her I didn't catch her eye, but caught the look on her face as she was shut out of one more community event.  It broke my heart.  My sister's oldest daughter (now 20) was diagnosed with very high functioning autism and I saw them go through the denial and grief of that diagnosis.  But until that day, just a short while ago, I hadn't realized that being a parent of a child with a disorder, and especially autism, can be so very isolating .  

That night I sat down with my husband and we decided that if there was anything we could do to help these families, we would.  So then and there we hatched the plan to begin Whole Child Therapy.  After beginning this process people in the community have come out of the woodwork to offer their support.  We are proud to be a member of the community and as our mission states our goal is to provide evidence-based services with compassion, knowledge, and collaborative effort.  Our clients are why we are here.  And our whole goal is to be the best clinic that we can be!
