Meet the Team Behind the Smiles

Our therapists, BCBAs, and support staff are passionate about helping children thrive. Together, we create a caring environment where progress is celebrated and every milestone matters.

Getting started

If your child already has an autism diagnosis, we begin the intake right away.
If your child still needs a diagnosis, we help connect you with licensed providers who can complete the evaluation.

Creating a plan

We meet with your family, learn about your child’s strengths and challenges, and design a therapy plan that focuses on communication, learning, and independence.

Starting therapy

Your child works one-on-one with our therapists in structured, supportive sessions. We track progress closely and share updates so you always know how your child is doing.

Ongoing support

As your child grows, we adjust the therapy plan. Parents are included at every step, with regular updates, training, and guidance so you feel supported too.
