Our Story - The OBC Journey

Oliver Behavioral Consultants was founded in 2010 by Dr. Patricia Oliver after years of university-based research at CU Denver. Driven by a desire to engage directly with families, she opened OBC to bring high-quality behavioral and developmental services into the community. Since then, OBC has grown into a full-service, multidisciplinary practice serving clients throughout the Denver Metro. What began with ABA therapy has expanded to include speech therapy, occupational therapy, mental-health services, and comprehensive evaluations, all designed to work together seamlessly for better outcomes.
