Consultation built around your child's actual life.
Three service types, all grounded in the same approach: listen first, understand the behavior, then build something that holds.
Where every family starts
Intake Session
Every engagement begins with a 90-minute intake. We work through history, current concerns, what's been tried, and what you're hoping for — so the work that follows is grounded in your family from day one.

Parent Consultation
Parent Consultation
The core of how I work.
Most of what we need to understand about your child's behavior happens outside of sessions — in the morning routine, at dinner, during pickup. Parent consultation is built around that reality. You bring what you're seeing. I bring the science.
Each session begins with your observations: what happened, where, with whom, and what came before and after. From there, I apply a behavioral lens to identify the function of what you're seeing, and we develop strategies that fit the way your family actually lives — then we measure, review, and adjust.
Some work is best done with your child in the room. Parent-child sessions bring you, your child, and me together — to observe directly, to model strategies in the moment, and to practice the transitions, routines, or interactions that are difficult to describe in words.
During the session, you run the interaction. I'm there to coach in real time: to notice what's working, to help you adjust when something isn't landing, and to refine the approach so it holds up outside the room. The goal isn't for me to work with your child. It's for you to leave more confident using the skills we've already discussed.
A Functional Behavior Assessment is a structured clinical process for understanding why a specific behavior is occurring — what's maintaining it, what environments are triggering it, and what the child is communicating through it. The result is a written report and a function-based behavior support plan.
FBAs typically involve parent interviews, direct observation in the home and/or school setting, and review of existing evaluations and records. Scope and fee are discussed during the intake call.
KBC accepts private pay and Aetna, with additional insurance panels in progress.
Private pay keeps the work focused entirely on your family. There are no authorization requirements, no third-party progress reports, and no limits on session frequency or scope.
Insurance coverage is available for families who prefer that path. It does come with real constraints: sessions require prior authorization, documentation is subject to insurer review, and the structure of services is shaped in part by what the plan approves. For some families, that tradeoff makes sense. For others, private pay offers more flexibility to do the work the way it needs to be done.
Fees and session structure are discussed during your free intake call.
Insurance coverage varies by plan. Families using Aetna are encouraged to verify behavioral health benefits directly with their carrier before scheduling.
Families who need more than what the system provides.
Individualized, by design
You're not looking for a program. You're looking for a clinician who knows your child well enough to notice what a standardized plan would miss.
Navigating the CPSE process
The Committee on Preschool Special Education moves slowly and doesn't always include behavioral consultation in its recommendations. KBC provides the clinical layer the process leaves out.
Waiting for the ABA authorization
Insurance authorization takes time. Consultation keeps the behavioral plan in motion while the paperwork moves — so nothing drifts in the interim.
When school and home aren't aligned
What works in the classroom doesn't always transfer home — and vice versa. KBC works across both environments to build a consistent behavioral picture and a plan that travels with your child.

The first step is a free 15-minute phone call. No commitment, no paperwork — just a conversation about your child and whether this is the right fit.
