Overview
Mission
Our mission is to positively impact children and families in our community by providing compassionate comprehensive and affordable therapy programs regardless of insurance or financial limitations. We provide physical occupational & behavioral health therapies to children from birth to 21 years.
What it reported doing in 2025
Treehouse Therapies achieved significant milestones in 2025 expanding both its physical capacity and program offerings to better serve the community. Infrastructure growth included the addition of three new treatment spaces through the conversion of garage space and the installation of an accessible playground at our Redmond clinic. Treehouse Therapies expanded its services in Sisters OR renovating 5 classrooms to accommodate our new ASPEN program. Programmatically the organization successfully launched the ASPEN program hiring Shawn Diez as our program director along with 4 additional therapists for this program. We initiated new Peer Support and Care Coordination programs to better support our families at all of our locations. Furthermore Treehouse Therapies broadened its therapeutic options by initiating Equine Assisted Therapies at Pole Creek Ranch in Sisters. We demonstrated commitment to community support by initiating the Pan Tree Project for families in need of food resources and facilitating the donation of hundreds of new childrens shoes to Shriners Hospitals and Nepal Orphanages. In 2025 Treehouse Therapies hosted eight graduate-level students including on Occupational Therapist one Physical Therapist and six Behavioral Health interns nurturing the next generation of therapeutic professionals.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 89% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
