About Lighthouse Therapy
About Us
Partnering with schools to solve a BIG problem.
7.2
million students need SPED services – the equivalent of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, and New Hampshire’s populations combined.
At Lighthouse Therapy, we have no investors. Instead of answering to a board, we answer to you, the school leader. This gives us the autonomy to make every decision around providing your students with the best possible care.
Our Mission
We are a company run by therapists for therapists for the betterment of students.
Our mission and everything we do comes from a simple belief. Take care of people. Period. We take great measures to take care of therapists so that they are equipped to provide life-changing services to students.
Why I started Lighthouse Therapy
For me, Lighthouse Therapy is more than a company. It’s a calling.
I have been a Speech Language Pathologist for 30 years and a teletherapist for 13 years. In 2018, I felt unsettled in my current role as an SLP. I asked God, “What should I do next?” and had no idea that God would lead me to start an online therapy company that would impact the lives of thousands of students every single year.
