About Us

“When you hand good people possibilities, they do great things.”

It is said that a company’s culture is defined and created from the top down, yet comes to life from the bottom up. "A little help, a little hope and a lot of love”, is not just our motto... it is our culture. At Hope Therapy, our culture is genuine.  We are driven by the mission to create opportunities for clients with ASD and their families, to live more fulfilling lives.  We are humbled to play a role in developing the future.  As team members, we each have a story about why we get out of bed each morning and do what we do to create change.  That force of change is deeply rooted in our company which unites us and results in our display of passion.

Excellence

Excellence is internal, contagious, and just a way of life. One of the key differences for us here at Hope is looking not just at the outcome… but the people, purpose, and processes that get us there. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Integrity

Acting with strong ethical principles and moral code is not only a priority for everyone representing Hope Therapy, but also for those we associate ourselves with. Good people, Good Business.

Honesty

It’s not just the best policy. It’s a core business practice to act in a transparent, trustworthy manner that earns the respect of colleagues, clients, and the public.

Fairness

Treating everyone with the common decency we all deserve and expect and giving those we interact with the benefit of the doubt…. Even when that’s hard.

Accountability

Accepting responsibility for your actions (and inactions) is one of the ways we build trust and respect within our culture.

Diversity and Inclusion

Hope is ONLY successful by the efforts of our people and our ability to work with all kinds of kinds… Everyone has different lived experiences and a range of backgrounds… putting all these things into a shared environment where everyone has equal opportunity to shine and speak freely is one way, we set us apart from a big corporate structure.

Humility, Learning & Development

No one has all the answers...  A culture of humility and continuous learning is a bedrock principle of Hope Therapy. This Core Value helps fulfill our lives and continuous learning exposes us to new perspectives.

Teamwork

When people work together, they can create something greater than themselves as individuals. Teamwork allows us to take advantage or each team members unique strengths to achieve results that exceed what could have been accomplished individually.

Passion

Passion is the persistent and relentless internal motivator. Passion results in GRIT and DETERMINATION… You either have it or you don’t. Here at Hope, we’ve got it! Passion propels us forward. We enjoy it, thrive in it, and breathe it!

Quality

Companies are judged by their services, so the highest standards will be maintained. In our field we often see companies claiming to provide the highest quality ABA Therapy Services… but we ask ourselves what that means… DAILY. This can mean something different to each family or client every day… We pay attention to those small moments, interactions or opportunities.
