Jackie is a co-founder of The Growing Tree Institute LLC. As a mother of two children on the Autism Spectrum, Jackie had been on the client side of services for many years but always felt she wanted to do more. After completing an internship at an Autism Center for her Masters in Clinical Mental Health, Jackie debated on what to do next. and dreamed of one day helping families like hers more. She has always felt that while Applied Behavior Analysis style Therapy is important, feeling like more than just another family during services should also be emphasized. Jackie manages the office, but has a vast knowledge of advocacy and is willing to help our parents in many other ways as well. She firmly believes the families here come first because true success lies within the family support.
