Meet the Founder
Welcome to Brighter Futures Therapy Services!
I’m Krystal Ghirardi, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and I want to share the vision behind our organization.
My journey of specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) began with a deep-seated passion for helping others. From volunteering in special education classrooms to participating in the Special Olympics, I witnessed firsthand the challenges families face. These experiences fueled my desire to pursue a degree in Psychology and Neuroscience.
At The New England Center for Children, I gained invaluable experience as a Registered Behavior Technician. It was here that my love for Applied Behavior Analysis blossomed. However, I quickly realized that many organizations prioritize metrics over the well-being of the children and families they serve. This realization inspired me to create a different kind of practice—one that puts people first.
Brighter Futures Therapy Services was born from this commitment. Our mission is to provide individualized and effective therapy for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We believe every child deserves tailored support that honours their unique needs and strengths.
At Brighter Futures, we foster an environment of trust and collaboration. We focus not just on skills but on building meaningful relationships with families. Our approach is grounded in empathy, ensuring that every family feels heard and valued.
As I reflect on my journey, I am filled with hope for the future. Brighter Futures is more than just a service; it’s a commitment to children and families that they are never alone. Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow.
Thank you for considering Brighter Futures Therapy Services. We look forward to partnering with you and supporting your family every step of the way.
