Our Approach: We take a collaborative approach with this therapy, working closely with our clients, their families, and other members of their clinical team to develop individualized treatment plans. We believe that communication is a group effort, and we strive to empower our clients to take an active role in their own care. This is an interpersonal type of therapy in which the individual often works with a practitioner one-on-one. Some children benefit from being paired up with other children in dyads or small groups. Our team of behavior technicians specialize in a variety of areas, including early childhood intervention, children with multiple diagnoses and parent and caregiver training. Individualized Support. At BFT, we build upon the uniqueness of your child / adolescent / young adult by determining their motivations. We value the individual interests, strengths, and motivators of each client, and we individualize all services based on those important factors. Our primary focus is on supporting safety awareness and decreasing tantrums as well as other challenging or dangerous behaviors, increasing social and play, communication, and daily living skills. Clinical programming begins with a comprehensive evaluation that determines the level of need and recommended number of hours. After the treatment plan has been reviewed with the family, a schedule is determined, and implementation of the plan begins!

Life coaching is different than counseling. Coaches may not be licensed in order to provide services. Services for life coaching are not reimbursed by insurance, so they are often private pay. Coaching does not focus heavily on the past, analysis or diagnosing a person with a mental health disorder. It is typically for high-functioning clients who are goal-focused and future-oriented, looking to improve themselves, their relationships and their emotional intelligence. Coaching can take place at the pace of the client and with varied frequency. Creating a time and space to focus on self-development can lead to general improvement and a more satisfying life experience.
