Behind every plan is a person who truly cares.
Hi, I’m Toree!
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst, autism mom, and the founder of Rise Autism Therapy. I was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, and this community means everything to me. Supporting local families isn’t just my profession, it’s my purpose.
My professional experience spans across schools, homes, clinics, and community-based settings. What truly drives my work is my lived experience as a parent. I’ve sat in IEP meetings. I’ve navigated meltdowns in public. I’ve advocated, cried, celebrated small wins, and questioned if I was doing enough. That perspective shapes everything I do.
The foundation of Rise is rooted in a desire to provide care that goes beyond the traditional approach. I believe in naturalistic teaching, where learning happens in the everyday moments, not just in structured clinical environments. I believe in inclusive environments that allow children to be seen, heard, and embraced for who they are. And I believe in the power of generalizing skills across people and places, because true success is when a child can thrive beyond therapy.
About Rise Autism Therapy
At Rise Autism Therapy, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow with confidence, connection, and care. Our mission is to support neurodivergent children and their families through high-quality, individualized ABA therapy delivered in the home, school, and community settings.
We take a naturalistic, strength-based approach by meeting children where they are, using their interests and daily routines to build meaningful skills. We believe in the power of inclusive environments, where learning isn’t confined to a therapy room but happens in the real world, with real people, in the places that matter most to the child.
Our focus is on helping children generalize skills across different settings and with various people. True progress isn’t just what happens during session, but it’s what continues at the dinner table, on the playground, or during a family outing. This is how we support not just short-term goals, but long-term, productive quality of life for both the child and the family.
We understand that navigating autism support services can feel overwhelming. That’s why we strive to make every step clear, collaborative, and centered around what truly matters for your child and your family.
