About Us

Whole Child Therapy, Inc. is a pediatric therapy clinic owned and operated by a husband and wife occupational therapist couple, Dennis and Ina Necesito.

We opened our clinic doors in May 2018 with Dennis starting out as the sole employee. Today, Whole Child Therapy, Inc. is now serving over 1,000 clients a month with our amazing staff of over 60 members, including full-time and part-time therapists, therapy assistants, and office staff.

Our core services include pediatric occupational therapy and speech therapy.

We serve children and their families at our clinic in Claremont, CA and in their homes in the surrounding areas in Southern California. We also serve students in several public school districts, charter schools, and non-public schools.
