Tessa Brower, M.S., MBA
Mom, Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Having lived the anxiety-ridden odyssey of searching for the proper support when faced with pediatric developmental delays as a parent, Tessa founded A Step At A Time Care with the vision to deliver best-in-class outcomes-driven, evidence-based, and compassionate behavioral care to neurodivergent children and their families in the New York City tri-state area.
With autism prevalence increasing to 1 in 36 children in the United States, Tessa believed that well-run and well-intentioned providers of integrated, quality, and multidisciplinary therapeutic services are needed for individuals with autism or related disorders now more than ever.
As a seasoned operator with cross-functional responsibilities including profit and loss and team management at Fortune 500 and private equity-backed companies globally, Tessa manages all non-clinical aspects of the organization. This allows our world-class clinical team to focus 100% on nurturing and unlocking the potential of each child in our care.
Tessa earned a Master of Science in Management from the Ecole des Sciences Sociales, Economiques et Commerciales (ESSEC) in Paris, France where she grew up. She also holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Outside of work, Tessa enjoys experiencing the outdoors, music, art and travel with her family and friends.
