Compassionate Autism Therapy Services for Your Child’s Growth

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals with autism and their families across clinic, home, school, and community settings. Since beginning my career as a Behavioral Technician in 2006, I have developed expertise in assessment, treatment planning, parent training, staff supervision, and clinical leadership.

I am passionate about providing individualized, evidence-based services that help clients build meaningful skills and achieve lasting success. My approach emphasizes naturalistic teaching strategies, family collaboration, and creating positive outcomes that improve everyday life.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is partnering with families and watching clients grow, gain independence, and reach their full potential.

Hi, I’m Aisha, a Behavioral Technician with two years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I’m currently studying psychology and am passionate about continuing to grow in the behavioral health field. I chose this work because I value helping individuals build independence, confidence, and quality of life through compassionate, individualized care. I strive to create a positive, supportive environment where each client feels encouraged to learn and grow. In my free time, I enjoy a wide range of music, as well as anime and cartoons. I also love spending time outdoors hiking, camping, and going to the beach.

My name is Arthur, and I am a Behavior Technician committed to helping children and families build meaningful, lasting relationships. I bring over 15 years of experience working with youth as an area director, counselor, and teacher across a variety of ministry settings. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep passion for guiding young people, supporting their growth, and creating positive environments where they can truly thrive. In my role as a BT, I provide compassionate, structured support that promotes development, independence, and confidence. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and recording music, which helps me stay creative, active, and connected to my passions.

Hi, I’m Samantha, the new Operations Coordinator at Rooted Therapy Center. I’m passionate about supporting children and families and being part of something meaningful. Having a brother with autism and Down syndrome has given me a personal connection to this community. My background includes nannying and administrative work, and I enjoy creating organized, welcoming environments. I love spending time with my two boys—exploring new places, building with Legos, and playing games. I also enjoy thrifting, audiobooks, hiking, and a good cup of coffee.

I have been with Rooted Therapy Center for nearly two years, working as both a Behavior Technician and a New Hire Trainer. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse set of clients and witnessing their growth and success in therapy, an experience that has been both rewarding and inspiring.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis, which I pursued with the goal of helping others. Early in my graduate studies, I was given the opportunity to work at Rooted Therapy with a population that was entirely new to me. Since then, I have developed a deep passion for working with children on the Autism Spectrum and have grown tremendously in my role.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer, watching anime, and sharing with anyone who will listen why Naruto is the best anime of all time!

My name is Layla, and I am a Registered Behavior Technician with a strong commitment to supporting children’s growth and development. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a concentration in behavior, with the goal of becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Over the past several years in this field, I have developed a strong passion for this work. I am motivated by the opportunity to support meaningful progress and take pride in making a positive impact on each child. Seeing the progress children make over time is incredibly rewarding, and I value being part of their journey. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially visiting lakes and exploring new places.
