The Embrace Team
We celebrate and embrace neurodiversity and the intersectionality of our identities.
Jennifer Vrieze, MEd., BCBA
Founder
I strive to provide high quality therapy, educational support, and social opportunities for increased engagement and enjoyment of life.
Jennifer Vrieze is a parent, teacher, community member, and life-long learner. She brings a warm, calming, and creative presence to her practice. She has her master’s degree in education and has been working with neurodiverse kids since 2004. She has worked in public and private schools and clinics, and in community, home, and training settings. Jenn is energized by her work when individuals are engaging in the community and reaching their goals. She loves to support parents and caregivers in developing their skills and connecting more positively with their kids.
“This is a rare gem in NC. Embrace staff are highly trained, patient, kind, and wonderfully skilled at working with children and young adults on the spectrum. The therapeutic program and educational program offer supportive and creative environments where kids can thrive and be themselves while building skills. We are so grateful to have found Embrace for our daughter."
