ABA Therapy in Raleigh, NC
ABA therapy for Raleigh families
The Raleigh-Durham-Cary triangle is one of our largest North Carolina markets outside the Triad. Our Triangle clinical team is led by Ashlyn Hammerstrom, M.A., BCBA, LBA, who oversees programs across Wake, Durham, and Orange counties.
Because the Triangle is home to a concentration of research institutions (Duke, UNC, NC State, RTP) and a deeply invested parent community, Triangle families tend to ask sharp questions about clinical quality, data-based decision-making, and ethical practice. We welcome those conversations. Our care plans are grounded in peer-reviewed ABA research, tracked through session data, and adjusted based on what actually moves the needle for your child — not what’s easiest for us.
We accept NC Medicaid, the NC State Health Plan, UNC and Duke employee plans, and all major commercial insurers. Intake is handled by our team so authorization and scheduling don’t become your second job.
Clinical leadership for Raleigh
Every BrightBridge ABA program is led by a credentialed behavior analyst who designs your child's care plan, trains the RBTs delivering sessions, and adjusts the plan as your child grows.

Raleigh ABA therapy FAQs
Yes. Our Triangle footprint includes Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina. Ashlyn Hammerstrom, our Regional Clinical Manager, oversees the full metro. If you're in a surrounding town we don't list, call us — we may still be able to serve you in-home.
With your consent, we attend IEP meetings, share data with your child's school team, and align therapy goals with school-based supports. Because WCPSS is one of the largest districts in the country, strong coordination between outside ABA and inside-school supports really matters — and we take that seriously.
Yes. The NC State Health Plan covers ABA for autism spectrum disorder, and we're in-network. UNC Health and Duke employee plans typically cover ABA as well — we verify the specifics during intake.
Definitely. Many Triangle families split time between two cities or commute across county lines. We assign one BCBA and RBT team to your family and work from your primary home, with flexibility for secondary locations when needed.
