About Us
Anna Sturgeon, MS, BCBA, LBA
Anna received her degree from Texas A&M University in Psychology followed by a master's degree in Human Development and Early Childhood Disorders from the University of Texas at Dallas. In 2014 Anna and her husband moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she took courses in Applied Behavior Analysis from Nicholl's State University. In 2016 she passed the necessary exams to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Licensed Behavior Analyst. She has worked in clinical and educational settings with children ranging from 18 months to 12 years of age and various developmental needs. Anna's biggest passion is compassionate care for not only her clients but the family as a whole. The process for autism diagnosis can be overwhelming, scary and isolating and Anna's goal is to shine a light for families and guide them through that process and beyond.

Anna lives in Katy, Texas with her husband, Aaron, and two children. She is active in the Katy community and is thrilled to serve Katy families and businesses through these services.

Anna says, "After continually talking to families who have felt confused, overlooked or overwhelmed in their search for answers and support, I felt the desire to make a more streamlined and accessible process. Shine was created from a desire to fulfill the need for families to have compassionate guidance throughout their child's diagnostic journey. To truly "shine a light" on your family's journey and reveal the incredible potential behind each and every child."
By collaborating with local neurologists, physicians and psychologists, my goal is to provide the necessary assessments required for a medical diagnosis of autism and access to resources. I want to shine a light on what can be a lonely and confusing process for families and provide them with hope and guidance for the future. I am so excited to serve my local community and to be a small part of your child's incredible journey!
