How Do I Choose – A Therapist, Coach or BCBA?
At LEAP, we pride ourselves in providing individualized and specialized care with the right provider for you. LEAP is distinguished from other behavioral and mental health providers because we provide services that fit every individual’s needs, creating convenience and collaboration among families and providers.
Therapists vs. Coaches vs. BCBAs : Choosing the Right Support
At LEAP, we offer both therapeutic and coaching services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. We also have behavioral support from Board Certified Behavioral Analysts. Whether you need emotional healing, goal-setting support, or a combination of both, our team can create a personalized plan that works for you. When you contact LEAP for our services, you may not know what provider or providers you would benefit from. Our care coordination team will assess your needs based on your initial call and will build a plan for you. This way, you are not left to navigate this process alone which can feel very overwhelming for individuals or families who may not know where to begin. Our team aids in the process so you feel heard and supported while you navigate this journey.
