Services
Kristen is deeply committed to providing individualized, evidence-based care that respects the unique cultural backgrounds, values, and identities of each child and family she serves. She strives to build strong, collaborative relationships rooted in trust, open communication, and cultural humility.
Direct ABA Therapy
Kristen provides individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy across home, community, school, and early intervention settings. Therapy is tailored to meet each child’s unique developmental, behavioral, and emotional needs while promoting independence and meaningful skill acquisition. By working within the child’s natural environments, Kristen ensures interventions are practical, effective, and directly applicable to daily life.
Assessments
Kristen conducts comprehensive behavioral and skill-based assessments to identify a child’s strengths, needs, and the most appropriate interventions. Assessments are individualized and may include Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA), preference assessments, and skill evaluations using tools like the ABLLS-R, VB-MAPP, or AFLS. Results are used to inform treatment goals and monitor progress.
Family Training
Parent and caregiver training is an essential component of effective ABA. Kristen partners with families to ensure they feel confident and empowered to support their child’s development. Training sessions are collaborative, culturally sensitive, and focused on real-life strategies to manage behavior, encourage communication, and build functional skills at home and in the community.
Toilet Training
Kristen provides structured, evidence-based toilet training programs tailored to each child’s readiness and learning style. With a focus on consistency, positive reinforcement, and caregiver involvement, the goal is to build independence while minimizing stress for both the child and family.
Parent Liaison Services
Navigating the world of special education and developmental diagnoses can be overwhelming. Kristen offers hands-on guidance for parents and caregivers who are new to the process or seeking additional support. She helps families understand diagnostic reports, access services, and effectively navigate the CPSE/IEP process within the NYC public school system, always advocating with compassion and clarity.
Remote BCBA Supervision
Kristen offers remote supervision for individuals accruing fieldwork hours toward BCBA certification. Supervision focuses on skill development, ethical decision-making, and real-world application of behavior analytic principles. This service is designed for trainees who need hour-based support rather than full case management.
Out-of-Network Provider
Kristen is an out-of-network provider and supports families in navigating the reimbursement process with their insurance providers.
She supplies the necessary documentation, including treatment plans and progress notes, to help families access the services their child needs while maximizing their out-of-pocket investment.
