Therapy & ABA

Individual Therapy


We provide individual therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), frequently incorporating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed strategies that have been thoughtfully adapted for neurodivergent individuals.

Our approach recognizes that neurodivergent individuals may require modifications to traditional CBT models, including visual supports, concrete skill-building, executive functioning scaffolds, and integration of sensory and regulation strategies.

Therapy is collaborative, strengths-centered, and practical. The goal is not only insight, but measurable skill development that improves functioning across home, school, work, and relationships.

Primary areas of focus often include:

  • Improving emotional regulation
  • Increasing frustration tolerance
  • Building effective communication and problem-solving skills
  • Enhancing cognitive flexibility
  • Strengthening resilience
  • Developing self-esteem and self-understanding


For young children, we offer Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI), an evidence-based framework that integrates developmental science with applied behavior analysis principles.

NDBI emphasizes learning through play, relationship, and naturally occurring interactions. Intervention targets may include:

We incorporate established NDBI models including:

Services may be provided in different formats depending on developmental need:

All programming is individualized and supervised to ensure developmental alignment and generalization of skills dependence, confidence, and well-being.


Parents are central partners in the therapeutic process.

We provide structured parent coaching to help families implement strategies that reduce daily stress, improve family functioning, and increase consistency across environments.

Our coaching model draws from:

  • Unstuck and On Target (executive functioning intervention)
  • SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
  • Regulating Together (emotion regulation support for neurodivergent children and adolescents)
  • Project ImPACT (Improving Parents as Communication Teachers)

Parent work focuses on building predictable routines, strengthening communication, increasing flexibility, and reducing escalation cycles within the home.


Through our partnered Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), we offer a center-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program that is exclusively grounded in Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) principles. This model integrates the science of ABA with developmental and relationship-based approaches, emphasizing learning through play, shared engagement, and everyday interactions.

Our program is designed specifically for young children under the age of five and is delivered at an intensity of 6–10 hours per week, depending on each child’s developmental needs.

Intervention begins with a comprehensive program assessment using the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) Checklist. This developmental framework allows us to identify individualized treatment targets across communication and language, play skills, social engagement, imitation, and emotional regulation. From there, a tailored intervention plan is developed that supports meaningful, functional skill growth within natural contexts.

Sessions are play-based, relationship-focused, and designed to build joint attention, spontaneous communication, flexibility, and social reciprocity. Rather than isolated skill drills, children learn through carefully structured interactions that feel engaging and developmentally appropriate.

Parent and caregiver involvement is central to our model. Families are encouraged to observe sessions and are actively coached in how to embed naturalistic strategies into daily routines at home. By supporting caregivers in using responsive communication techniques during play, mealtimes, transitions, and everyday moments, we promote generalization and long-term developmental progress.

Children are formally re-evaluated every six months to monitor progress and update treatment targets to reflect emerging developmental skills and goals.

Our NDBI-based ABA program reflects our core philosophy: combining scientific rigor with developmentally appropriate, attuned, relationship-centered care to support young children in building strong foundations for communication, connection, and lifelong learning.
