For Families

New to Odyssey?

Getting Started, Step by Step.

Starting therapy is a process we walk through together. Here is what your family can expect, from the first hello to ongoing care.

1. Get connected and complete intake. Contact our intake team to arrange guardian portal access. In the portal, choose Intake Forms, then Create Intake Form. Use our contact form to reach the intake team for referral instructions. Your referring provider can also fax a referral to 719-249-5834.
2. Meet, say hello, and see if we are a good fit. A meet and greet gives your family and our team a chance to get to know each other, ask questions, and explore whether Odyssey is a good match for your child and family.
3. Complete the initial assessment. We learn about your child's strengths, needs, and your family's priorities. This assessment helps us develop an individualized treatment plan.
4. Allow a few weeks for the treatment plan and approval. After the assessment, there is typically a wait of a few weeks while we write the treatment plan and seek insurance approval. Timing varies by carrier and the review process. We will communicate with you about next steps.
5. Begin therapy and plan for ongoing authorizations. Once the plan is approved, we coordinate the start of therapy and your child's schedule. Authorization periods are typically six months; some insurance carriers authorize twelve months. We review progress and prepare for the next authorization period as care continues.

A Home Setting, Surrounded by Nature

Clinic Days, Group Days, and Events

Our clinic is in a house in the forest rather than a traditional office in a commercial building. Trees, views, wide-open spaces, and room to play outside make it a welcoming setting for children and families. A residential environment offers a closer match to everyday life, helping children practice and generalize skills in ways they can naturally carry into their home routines.

Clinic Days: Children participate in personalized, one-on-one therapy tailored to their unique goals while naturally sharing space and interacting with peers throughout the day. Because we invest heavily in supporting our clinicians, your child receives care from a consistent, familiar team that truly knows their needs.

Group Days: We bring children together for structured group activities, collaborative outdoor play, and shared social milestones. Guided by our exceptionally stable staff, these days put peer connection at the center, helping children build friendships and confidence with trusted mentors by their side.

Community Events: We regularly bring our families and team together for seasonal events, parent training, and inclusive celebrations. These gatherings strengthen our community bonds and provide a comfortable network of long-term support for everyone involved.
