Leadership Bio
Serenity Applewhite
Co-Founder
I founded Cortexa ABA Services with a simple mission: to create a place where children receive compassionate, individualized, and ethical care while families feel supported every step of the way.
As Co-Founder, I oversee the daily operations, strategic planning, business development, and overall growth of Cortexa. My goal is to build an organization that values integrity, collaboration, and excellence while ensuring every decision is made with our clients’ best interests in mind.
I work closely with our Clinical Director and team of qualified professionals to ensure our services meet the highest standards of quality, professionalism, and ethical practice. I believe that strong leadership, a supportive team culture, and meaningful partnerships with families are the foundation of successful outcomes for every child we serve.
My vision for Cortexa extends beyond providing ABA therapy. I am committed to building a trusted pediatric organization that empowers children, supports families, invests in its employees, and creates lasting positive change within our community. Every family who chooses Cortexa can expect to be treated with respect, compassion, and genuine care because helping children thrive is at the heart of everything we do.
