Family Services

Being a caregiver means wearing many hats and navigating challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming. At Beyond Behavior Therapy, we’re here to support you every step of the way. We provide personalized, evidence-based behavior therapy services, rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)—a scientific approach to understanding and improving behavior.

Our focus is on helping your child build meaningful skills, foster independence, and thrive in everyday life. At the same time, we empower you as a caregiver with practical tools and strategies, giving you the confidence to create lasting, positive change for your family. Together, we can make meaningful progress that truly matters.

Using evidence-based strategies, therapy focuses on areas like communication, social skills, emotional regulation, and daily living, all tailored to ensure progress feels natural and meaningful to the individual.

We have worked with Kellie since 2021. She has been the most influential person in our son’s journey and with her guidance our son has made tremendous progress. She has worked with our son in his school, for home sessions and in social scenarios. She has a superior ability to connect with neurodivergent individuals - she successfully built a strong relationship with our son so that sessions were motivating and goals naturally fit into sessions. She was willing to attend playdates, observed sibling relationships, guided teachers and collaborated with other of our hired therapists so that she could successfully provide the best and most effective treatment and generalize skills and behaviors across all spheres. She worked closely with us in regular parent coaching meetings and would break-down skills to make them teachable for us. We have worked with many different ABA companies in the past and I can say unequivocally that Kellie at Beyond Behavior Therapy has enabled the largest progress in our son by far. BBT is the most neurodivergent affirming ABA company that we have come across - always using an individual’s sensory needs to their advantage instead of trying to quell them as a goal to attain. Kellie understands the whole picture and has helped us navigate everything from IEP meetings to additional services to working with our insurance. Kellie is truly exceptional and I highly recommend Beyond Behavior Therapy.

Working Together to Access Care

We understand that navigating payment options can feel overwhelming, so we’re here to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. Here’s how we work with families to ensure they have access to the support they need through flexible and transparent payment options.

Private Pay

We offer flexible payment options for families who choose to pay directly for services.

Insurance Reimbursement

For families with insurance plans that offer out-of-network or in-network benefits (such as Aetna, Cigna, Tricare West), we provide a detailed superbill (an itemized invoice) that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. While we do not bill insurance directly, we’re happy to walk you through the process and answer any questions. Please note that families are responsible for payment at the time of service and can then seek reimbursement from their insurance provider based on their plan’s benefits.

Sliding Scale

We understand that financial barriers can make accessing services challenging, and we’re committed to supporting families in need. Sliding scale options are available for a limited number of clients, based on financial need and availability. Please contact us to discuss eligibility.
