Each of MAC’s therapy teams include Doctorate level Psychologists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors trained in the planning and implementation of all MAC services.
Each program above is individualized by our therapy team to meet the needs of your child, adolescent, and family, and created around the scientifically supported concepts and principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
