Personalized Support Without the Intensive Schedule

Our 1:1 behavioral therapy provides individualized support for children and families through a combination of direct behavioral therapy and parent coaching. Services typically range from 2-6 hours per week and are designed to address meaningful goals while empowering parents to support progress between sessions.

Unlike traditional models that rely on multiple staff members, every session is provided directly by one experienced, board-certified clinician. This means your family works with the same person from start to finish—someone who knows your child, understands your goals, and collaborates closely with you every step of the way.

What Is Behavioral Therapy?

Behavioral therapy is a practical, evidence-based way of understanding behavior—why it happens, what it communicates, and how the environment shapes it. It uses proven strategies to teach new skills, support communication, reduce challenging behavior, and help children become more independent in daily routines.

If you've been searching for ABA, you're in the right place. The behavioral therapy we provide is rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)—the science behind these strategies. We simply use plain language for it, because you shouldn't need to know the terminology to know whether it's right for your family.

Today's insurance guidelines limit most funding to children with an autism diagnosis, even though behavior support can be transformative for children with many different developmental profiles, and for families as a whole. Gentle Roots exists to bridge that gap by meeting families where they are, offering warm and practical support, whether they're waiting for formal services or seeking guidance outside standard insurance pathways.

At Gentle Roots, this work is practiced in a strengths-based, compassionate, and individualized way. There are no cookie-cutter plans or rigid insurance requirements. Just practical support tailored to each family's needs.

Parent Coaching That Creates Lasting Change

Children make the greatest progress when the important adults in their lives feel confident and supported.

Parent coaching is a core part of our model. Together, we develop practical strategies that fit naturally into your family's routines, helping you support skill development during everyday activities.

Our goal is not to make families dependent on therapy. Our goal is to help families build the skills and confidence needed to create meaningful change long after services end.
