Service
Assessment, intervention, and family support for behavior that isn't working
Behavioral health services address the observable, day-to-day patterns — meltdowns, refusal, aggression, withdrawal, social difficulty — that make home and school hard.
We start by understanding what the behavior is accomplishing for the child or adult, then build a plan that teaches a better way to get that same need met. Plans are practical enough for a Tuesday morning, not just a clinic room.
This service is frequently paired with ADHD and autism support, executive function coaching, and family therapy.
A clear path from first call to maintenance, with no step you didn't agree to.
We gather developmental history, school records, prior evaluations, and your description of what a hard day looks like.
Structured rating scales, observation, and functional analysis to identify triggers, patterns, and what the behavior is achieving.
A written intervention plan with antecedent strategies, replacement skills, reinforcement, and clear response steps.
Live coaching so caregivers practice the strategies with support rather than reading a handout and hoping.
With your consent, we share the plan with teachers and participate in IEP or 504 meetings so expectations are consistent.
We track frequency and intensity over time and revise what isn't working.
A structured evaluation combining standardized rating scales, caregiver and teacher input, developmental history, and direct observation. The output is a written report you can bring to a school team or pediatrician, with specific recommendations rather than generic advice.
Individualized plans built on functional behavior principles: change what precedes the behavior, teach a replacement skill, and reinforce it consistently. We prioritize a small number of high-impact changes over a long list nobody can sustain.
Structured sessions where caregivers learn and rehearse specific strategies — giving effective instructions, using planned ignoring, de-escalating safely, and holding limits without escalating. Both caregivers are encouraged to attend so the approach stays consistent across the household.
Behavior challenges wear families out. We address caregiver stress, sibling impact, and the parenting-team dynamics that quietly undermine even good plans.
Targeted work on initiating and maintaining conversation, reading nonverbal cues, perspective taking, conflict repair, and handling exclusion — with real practice and feedback, not worksheets alone.
Skills for noticing escalation early, using the body to down-regulate, tolerating distress without acting on it, and recovering afterward. Applies to children, teens, and adults.
With written consent we consult with teachers, counselors, and administrators, contribute to functional behavior assessments and behavior intervention plans, and attend IEP or 504 meetings so the plan follows the student through the day.
Behavioral health assessments and intervention sessions are covered under the behavioral health benefit on most plans, including Medicaid and TRICARE. Coverage for school consultation time varies, so we confirm what's billable before scheduling it.
Insurance & payment detailsBehavioral services are delivered by clinicians experienced in child and adolescent behavior, developmental differences, and family systems, with psychiatric consultation available when medication questions arise.
Meet the practiceWe measure progress with standardized rating scales at intake and throughout care, so improvement is documented rather than assumed. Patient stories are published only with written authorization — we never fabricate testimonials.
How we measure outcomesTell us what you've tried. We'll confirm eligibility, verify your benefits, and map out what treatment would look like.
