Meet Samantha Aresco, M.S., BCBA

Samantha Aresco is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and the proud founder of A Brighter Way, LLC, an ABA therapy center dedicated to helping children and families thrive.

With extensive experience working across clinical centers, hospitals, and school settings, Samantha brings a well-rounded perspective to every child’s care. Her diverse background allows her to design comprehensive programs that bridge home, school, and community — ensuring skills are meaningful and lasting.

Samantha has supported children with a wide range of strengths and needs, collaborating with parents, educators, and multidisciplinary teams to create individualized treatment plans that foster growth, confidence, and connection.

She founded A Brighter Way with a mission to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy in an environment where families feel seen, supported, and empowered. Her leadership has guided the development of inclusive programs such as Soaring Camp, parent training initiatives, and community partnerships that make ABA therapy accessible beyond the clinic walls.

Outside of work, Samantha is a proud mom of two and understands firsthand the joys and challenges of parenting. When she’s not supporting families through A Brighter Way, you can find her spending time with her children, cheering at swim meets, or enjoying a quiet moment with a good cup of coffee.

Her approach reflects both her professional expertise and personal heart — grounded in empathy, connection, and the belief that every child deserves a chance to soar.
