ACT Staff
Assessment, Consultation & Treatment prides itself on the quality of its staff. We are dedicated to providing strong training and support to our clinical staff.
Our Exceptional Therapists
While most agencies providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)/behavioral, adaptive skills training and other services rely on bachelors-level staff to directly work with clients, Assessment, Consultation & Treatment is committed to selecting highly educated, and experienced staff.
- Therapists working directly with clients are pursuing advanced degrees, licenses or certifications in clinical psychology, school psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, as well as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
- As psychologists, psychology and related interns, as well as behavior analysts in training, staff have a more in-depth knowledge of not only autism spectrum disorders, but a wider array of mental health issues that our clients and families may struggle with.
- Therapists receive on-going training and supervision. They meet regularly to consult one another about clients in order to ensure continued quality of services.
