Our Story

Be ME began with a simple belief: neurodiverse children deserve care that honors who they are, how they experience the world, and how they grow best—through relationship, connection, and understanding.

Over the years, families shared similar experiences. Many therapy settings felt rigid or behavior-focused, often prioritizing compliance over understanding the whole child. Parents were frequently asked to choose between effective therapy and approaches that truly respected their child’s emotional world, sensory needs, and individuality.

Be ME was created to offer a different path.

Our founding team has seen, both professionally and personally, how powerful therapy can be when it is grounded in relationships rather than behavior management. Guided by faith, clinical experience, and evidence-based research, we envisioned a model that centers the whole child: emotionally, socially, sensory-wise, and developmentally.

From that vision, the Be ME Center: therapeutic preschool was formed.

Our approach blends relationship-based therapy, sensory-informed environments, and transdisciplinary collaboration. We do not use compliance-based or behavior-driven models. Instead of asking children to adapt to a system, we design environments and supports that adapt to each child.

Today, Be ME serves families seeking something fundamentally different - an evidence-based, relationship-centered approach where children are supported across all areas of development and allowed to grow in ways that are meaningful, joyful, and authentic.

Be ME partners with families.

Our Vision

We will become a leading advocate and influential voice for a fundamentally different approach to therapy, one that focuses on joy, connection, and development rather than behavior. As a result of this approach, children and their families will experience greater confidence, fulfillment, and empowered lives. We will show that a respectful, neurodiversity affirming approach is not only possible, but transformative, and it will become a guiding standard across the field.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help neurodiverse clients discover, embrace, and grow into their authentic selves through play-based, relationship-focused therapy that integrates the strengths of multiple disciplines. Guided by our faith and commitment to Christ-centered care, we create a supportive environment where clients feel seen, understood, and valued, while equipping and resourcing families for long-term success.

Our Values

Our values guide every decision at Be ME Center. Rooted in our faith and shaped by Christ’s example of love, humility, and service, we believe connection, community, and respect create meaningful therapeutic growth. We have the greatest impact when we are excellent, influential, child-centered, and rooted in joy.

We advocate for a more supportive, respectful, and neurodiversity affirming model of care. We lead by example, uplifting families, educating our community, and inspiring positive change in the broader field.

Be Childcentric

We follow the child’s strengths, interests, rhythms, and needs. We create environments that adapt to each child, not the other way around and always ask, “What supports this child best?”
