We are dedicated to providing neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed care that honors each individual’s strengths, autonomy, and lived experiences. Our approach celebrates neurodiversity, fosters connection, and prioritizes emotional safety as the foundation for meaningful growth and learning.
Through collaboration, curiosity, and care, we aim to empower individuals and families to build skills, confidence, and joy — one step, one discovery, and one moment at a time.

I’m Erica Penko, the founder of Wonder Haven and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space for both clients and staff to flourish. Wonder Haven was built from a deeply personal place—my experience as a parent of a child who has benefited immensely from high-quality ABA services. Seeing firsthand how compassionate, ethical, and individualized care can change a family’s life inspired my commitment to offering that same opportunity to others.
My vision for Wonder Haven is rooted in our core values: empathy, transparency, collaboration, and the highest standard of clinical excellence. I am dedicated to ensuring these values show up in every part of our practice—the way we deliver direct services, how we communicate with and support caregivers, and how we work together as a team.
I believe in leading with understanding, honoring each child’s voice and autonomy, and creating an environment where progress feels safe, meaningful, and achievable. My goal is for every family and every staff member to feel seen, supported, and confident as we work together to help children thrive in every aspect of their lives.

My name is Jeanne and I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland. I moved to Clarksville in 2023 top be closer to my grandparents. I earned my degrees from Indiana University and Arizona State University. I love coffe, chocolate, and my fur-babies (one miniature schnoodle and two guinea pigs)!

I am a Registered Behavior Technician with nearly four years of experience working with children with autism. Originally from Indiana, I have lived in Tennessee for the past six years. As a mother of three girls, I bring both professional experience and a parent’s perspective to my work, and I am passionate about supporting each child’s individual growth in a positive, encouraging environment. I am currently continuing my education toward becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), with the goal of providing compassionate, effective care to the families I serve.

Hi there friends! My name is Kristina and I hail all the long way from west TN. I moved to Clarksville in 2019 to begin my journey as a Gov and have (mostly) remained here since! I have been an RBT for nearly 2 years now and am currently in grad school working to become a BCBA. I truly enjoy the job I do and getting to see the progress these kids make and being a part of their journey brings so much joy to my life! I have been an aunt since age 5 and have 10 nieces and nephews, so working with kids has always come naturally. Wonder Haven has already been so much fun to be a part of and I absolutely cannot wait to see all the good things in store!!!
