Supporting Positive Change Through Behavior Analysis
Behavioral challenges—whether in children, teens, or adults—can significantly impact learning, relationships, and everyday life. At Oak Health Center, our Behavior Therapy Program is rooted in evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a proven approach that helps us identify the underlying causes of behavior and guide families in building practical, adaptive skills. Drawing on years of experiential success, we provide tailored coaching that empowers individuals and caregivers alike. Our team approaches each case through a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed lens, honoring each person’s unique strengths and identity while collaboratively supporting meaningful, lasting behavioral growth.
