Element Behavioral Health is a neuro-affirming ABA practice supporting children and teens through client-led therapy. Our mission is to empower every neurodivergent individual to thrive in their Element.
We specialize in focused Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, grounded in a neuro-affirming approach to care. At Element, we are not here to “fix” autism or suppress neurodivergent traits- we embrace the uniqueness of the individuals we serve. Every client at Element intentionally receives a reduced therapy schedule, typically between 10–20 hours per week (based on clinical need). This allows for flexibility, balance, and a greater focus on the goals that matter most to each individual and their family.
Element is also redefining what ABA care looks like. Our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) go beyond traditional supervisory roles. Each BCBA works directly with their clients for at least 20% of the total therapy hours. This hands-on model allows BCBAs to develop deeper insight into their clients’ needs, build stronger therapeutic relationships, and make more responsive, data-informed decisions. For the remaining hours, a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) provides direct support, with the assigned BCBA overseeing 10–20% of those hours each week through ongoing supervision.
We recognize that our approach may not be the right fit for everyone. Some individuals may benefit from a more intensive or comprehensive model of care- and that’s okay. We are committed to providing services that honor each person’s unique needs and preferences. If needed, we are happy to connect families with other providers who may be better suited to meet those needs.
ABA therapy can support your child in developing essential daily living and self-care skills, such as washing hands, dressing, and following routines. At Element, we tailor our approach to help children build these skills at their own pace, in an effort to make everyday tasks easier for both them and their caregivers
ABA can support your child in developing key social skills for success at home, school, and in the community. Whether it’s initiating conversations, resolving conflicts, collaborating with peers, or recognizing social cues, we understand how challenging these skills can be. Our approach focuses on helping your child engage more confidently and comfortably in social situations.
At Element, we celebrate your child’s unique communication style and tailor our approach to fit their needs. We work closely with your child's speech therapist, when applicable, to create a seamless, supportive experience that fosters their communication growth every step of the way.
We understand that the transition into school can feel overwhelming, and we’re here to help support that process. At Element, we offer services within the school environment, when permitted, to promote consistency and success across settings. When clinically appropriate and requested, our team can also attend IEP meetings as part of your child’s support team, helping make the experience more cohesive and aligned.
At Element, we believe that every behavior is a form of communication. We focus on supporting behaviors that may impact a child’s ability to thrive in less restrictive environments, always with a compassionate, hands-off, and neuro-affirming approach. Our goal is to help children engage in these environments in a way that honors their autonomy, ensuring that we are only intervening on behaviors that hinder their progress or pose a risk of harm to themselves or others.
We take a hands-off approach to intervention across all behaviors, including self-stimulatory behaviors (stimming), as we recognize these can be important self-regulation tools for many neurodivergent individuals. Unless there is a direct risk of harm, we do not target behaviors like stimming.
Our priority is to understand the root causes of behaviors, collaborating closely with families to ensure interventions are the least restrictive and most respectful of the child’s unique needs. In cases where a child requires more intensive intervention, we may recommend other providers who specialize in those areas. This will be assessed during the intake process and continually throughout our services to ensure we’re meeting your child’s needs.
We pride ourselves in transparency from the very start. While the journey to care involves a few different steps, we are here to support you along the way.
Tell us about your child’s needs, and we’ll take it from there. We’re excited to partner with you on this important journey!
Expect a call within 24 business hours from our team. We’ll start the process of confirming eligibility for services, contacting your insurance and gathering all the information needed to get started.
Your child will be matched with a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst who will complete an initial assessment to create a personalized plan of care that fits your child’s unique needs.
Once the assessment is complete, you will meet your assigned Registered Behavior Technician and therapy will begin. We’re excited to be part of your child’s growth and watch them thrive in their Element.
We are just getting started and looking for passionate and neuro-affirming clinicians! If you are a BCBA or future BCBA, and our clinical approach sounds like a good fit, we would love the opportunity to meet you. Contact us today at [email protected]
