At Exploring Minds Mental Health & Autism Services, our mission is to empower children and families through compassionate, evidence based, and collaborative care. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Analysts (RBAs) combine the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with an understanding of each child’s emotional, social, and developmental needs.
