We believe that there’s a little bit of magic in all of us.

We provide quality individual-based ABA services that give children the opportunity to reach their highest potential.

By specifically focusing on a small caseload, we give families the time and attention they desperately need, while offering ALL services directly by an experienced BCBA. For Behavior Magic, it is about quality over quantity.

I have worked closely with Melissa co-treating a good number of clients of different school ages. She is reliable, efficient, knowledgeable and caring. The results in achieving goals and integrating the individuals functionally and socially appropriately in our community is paramount for her and it is obvious in their performance/outcome. Collaborating with her has been an enriching professional experience.

It was not until we met Melissa that we felt hopeful. She was clear and thorough, breaking down the goals and plans that she had for our son. More importantly, she included us every step of the way and was willing and able to collaborate with my son’s other therapists. Our son is now imitating, repeating, making spontaneous requests, and is almost potty trained! His social skills have significantly improved, and he looks forward to every session with Melissa. We are blessed to have her and highly recommend her! She is a “no nonsense” analyst that will get your child to the level where he or she needs to be.
