Whole Kids Co.

What Whole Kids Co. does

Whole Kids Co. is a multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy clinic operating from two locations in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded by Christie Casimiro in 2019. The clinic delivers integrated psychological testing, counseling, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy to children, teens, and young adults with developmental, behavioral, and mental health needs, alongside parent and caregiver support services. All services are anchored in a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) guided, trauma-informed care philosophy that the clinic applies uniformly across mental health, ABA, and pediatric rehabilitation disciplines, creating a unified clinical culture uncommon among regional pediatric therapy providers.

The underlying clinical platform is a coordinated, whole-child care model in which specialists across disciplines collaborate on unified individualized treatment plans, supported by a therapeutic sensory environment (adjustable lighting, aromatherapy, sensory accommodations) and gold-standard diagnostic tools such as ADOS-2 for autism evaluation. Specialized service lines include pediatric pelvic floor therapy and picky eater / feeding support, and the clinic maintains a content and community-resource hub (specialty pages, blog, parent workshops, curated referrals to organizations such as The Resource Exchange and The Arc Pikes Peak Region) to drive organic demand and reinforce its role in the regional special-needs ecosystem.

Revenue is generated primarily through billable therapy sessions reimbursed by insurance, with the practice participating as an in-network provider for HealthFirst Colorado (Medicaid), Tricare, TriWest, Colorado Access, NHP, and CCHA, plus most major commercial plans, and offering a cash-pay option for psychological testing. Distribution is direct-to-family via inbound phone and website contact, with intake appointments typically scheduled within two to three weeks of first contact and wait times ranging from one to six months depending on service line. Service delivery is conducted in-person across the two clinics with telehealth as a supplementary channel, and the practice manages client engagement through a TheraNest-powered client portal.
