The Team
Who We Are
Ashley Davis, BCBA
Owner, Clinical Director
Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Texas Licensed Behavior Analyst
I am a board-certified behavior analytic specialist with 10 years of experience in the field. I have always had a heart for children and knew when I was in grade school, I wanted to grow up to work in a field that services children. In my experience I have worked with a wide range of children on the autism spectrum with other comorbid diagnosis such as, down syndrome and ADHD. The age range that I have worked with includes, children from 18 months to 16 years and young adults from 18-22 years old. When asked about my passion within the field, I am most passionate about early intervention and catering to children on the autism spectrum during their earliest stages of development. I highly believe in allowing ABA to be a creative and fun process to tackling behavioral deficits. I am also very passionate about the connections I make with the families I service. I never want families to feel like another number but instead want them to know they are connected and cared for. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in psychology with an emphasis in childhood development; and went on later to earn my master's degree in school psychology and a specialist degree in behavior analysis. I am blessed to have a team that is compassionate and caring in all the areas I know are important in this field; they are all patient, kind and intentional; and through my organization are changing the narrative of the field and providing meaningful care.
Jessica Holmes (Equine Studies)
Lead Registered Behavior Therapist
My name is Jessica Holmes, my friends and family call me Jess. I have a 10-year old son named Brody, that I absolutely adore. When I am not working, you can find me at all of my sons sporting events and/or the emergency room, as he is all boy and very active. lol My munchkin definitely keeps me on my toes. In addition to hanging out with Brody, I LOVE Mexican food, green tea and country music. Not many people know this about me, but I also use to sing. I am a BIG animal person; all rescues and I absolutely love working with children; it has been my life's work. Over the past 10 years I have been in the pre-K classroom working with children between the ages of 2-3 years old and I'd love to think that my nitch is finding new and creative ways to help littles learn. I have been working with children for almost 20 years and have found that when learning is made fun, children tend to excel. More recently in my classroom I have had the experience of being able to teach several children on the autism spectrum, which is what has drawn me to ABA. My love for children and my desire to continuously learn new ways to help them excel, regardless of diagnosis, has ignited a new spark in me to learn and implement ABA to help children become the best versions of themselves that they can be.

Christi Weathers (BCBA Intern)
Registered Behavior Therapist
Hello, my name is Christi Weathers, my family and I have been apart from Copperas Cove Texas for my whole life. I just married my husband last March 2024 and he is helping me raise my grandson who I adopted in 2017. I have three grown children, one of which has autism. I have been working with children between the ages of 6 weeks to 18 for over twenty years both in public and private schools. I have my master’s in special educations and am currently working on master’s in applied Behavior Analysis with the Area of Study Autism Spectrum Disorder. I went into this field because of the passion that I have for my sons that have autism and being there voice and letting them know they could do anything they wanted if they put their minds to it. I want other children and parents to know the same thing. I choose to write on the Dyamond group setting because of how I raised my autistic child who is now living on his own. As his caregiver when he was an adult, I had to teach him how to do many things that he didn’t know how do independently so that he was able to live in his own apartment. The first thing that I taught him was how to be his clothes and I found this video on the steps that show what I did to show him. When teaching him he had all his clothes in the basket, then put them in the washer, once in the washer I bought him pod for both tide and downy. At times he would get mad because the washer would take a long time to wash, but I told him to breathe, and we could watch tv or do something else while we wait. He chooses a puzzle most of the time. Once the laundry was done, I had him place it in the dryer with dryer sheets of paper and make sure he had everything ready to go once it was dry, hangers and basket. During this time, we talked about not all washers and dryers are the same. I took him to a laundromat and showed him the washer and dyers that took money, and he asked why they did, and I explained why. When he moved out his apartment area laundromat took credit card, and he called me, and I had to walk him through where to put the card because he didn’t know how to do it but he was able to wash his clothes. I was super proud of him that day.
