Are you looking for effective strategies to support your child’s behavior, communication, or social development? Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a proven, science-based approach that helps individuals—especially children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—build meaningful skills and reduce challenging behaviors. At Summit Counseling Center, our ABA specialists provide compassionate, individualized care designed to support your family’s unique goals.
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a structured and research-backed approach to understanding and improving behaviors that are socially significant. ABA therapy focuses on how behavior works, how it’s affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. Using positive reinforcement and data-driven strategies, ABA helps children and individuals learn new skills and thrive in everyday life.

- Addiction
- Alcohol Use (Individuals)
- Anxiety and Panic Disorders
- Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Behavioral Issues
- Drug Abuse (Individual)
- Dual Diagnosis
- Eating Disorders
- Education & Learning Disabilities
- Emotional Abuse
- Gambling

- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Process Addiction (Gambling, Gaming, etc.)
- Substance Misuse & Addiction
- Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
