our Mission
Our mission is to provide barrier-free applied behavior analysis services to individuals on the autism spectrum in an inclusive environment. We are a beacon of light to all of those riding the waves of autism!
Our Story
Lighthouse Therapy Center was founded by Ashlyn Wimmer and Kaitlin Clem on the belief that every child deserves high-quality, individualized care. The two met in 2021 while creating a special needs ministry at their church, where they quickly connected through a shared passion for serving children with autism and their families. As both a parent of a child with autism and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, they saw firsthand the need for a more inclusive, supportive environment in the Fort Worth community—and Lighthouse was born from that vision.
Built with both heart and clinical expertise, Lighthouse focuses on meeting each child where they are, creating a safe, nurturing space for growth through therapy and skill development. In 2025, Lighthouse expanded to multiple locations and welcomed a third co-owner, Jaci Cavitt, who has been part of Lighthouse since day one and brings years of experience in the field. Today, all three owners remain actively involved—on-site daily and working alongside their team—to ensure every child receives the highest quality care possible.
Lighthouse Therapy Center fosters an environment designed to meet the unique needs of every child and family we serve. We provide individualized, insurance-based ABA therapy with flexible scheduling options, allowing families to choose what works best based on their child’s needs and clinical recommendations. To further support the whole child, we also offer access to in-house services such as speech, occupational, and music therapy—helping reduce the stress of traveling between providers. We are committed to being a barrier-free resource for our community, proudly serving children ages 2–21 with compassionate, comprehensive care.
Our Vision
Every child is given the opportunity to receive the services they need, to find a sense of belonging, and create hope for a brighter future.
What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is the use of scientifically proven techniques and principles to achieve positive and meaningful changes in behavior. Lighthouse Therapy Center’s commitment to providing the highest quality of individualized therapy remains our primary focus. Through evidence-based programming and family guidance, we keep our clients’ direct needs at the heart of everything we do.
