Raising a child with autism or special needs can be one of the most rewarding—and challenging—experiences in life. At Treeside Health, we understand that parents and caregivers also need support, which is why we offer Adult Talk Therapy as part of our comprehensive care model. Mental wellness isn’t just important for your child—it’s vital for you, too. What is Adult Talk Therapy? Adult talk therapy (also known as psychotherapy or counseling) is a safe space where individuals can explore their emotions, experiences, stressors, and relationships. It’s led by licensed mental health professionals who guide you through self-reflection, healing, and growth. Our therapy sessions may include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Mindfulness-based strategies Stress and anxiety management Grief and trauma processing Parent-focused support Family counseling and conflict resolution Why Parents Need Therapy The emotional toll of caregiving can lead to burnout, depression, anxiety, and isolation.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is often referred to as the gold standard of autism treatment—and for good reason. It’s a science-backed, individualized approach that helps children learn vital skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and gain independence over time. At Treeside Health, our ABA therapy program is child-centered and family-driven, designed to support both short-term gains and lifelong success. What is ABA Therapy? ABA therapy is a method of teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors while minimizing negative or disruptive ones. It relies on a deep understanding of how behavior is affected by environment, motivation, and consequences. ABA uses strategies like: Positive reinforcement Task analysis (breaking skills into steps) Discrete trial training Natural environment teaching Functional behavior assessments Through these methods, children learn how to: Communicate effectively Engage in social interactions Follow instructions Manage emotions Perform daily living skills like brushing teeth or getting dressed Who Benefits from ABA? ABA therapy is most commonly used for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but it also benefits children with: ADHD Intellectual disabilities Behavioral disorders Speech or developmental delays Our program is designed for children of all ages, with a strong emphasis on early intervention for ages 2–6, which has shown to provide the most significant long-term outcomes. Our ABA Therapy Process At Treeside Health, every family begins with an initial consultation and behavioral assessment. Based on this, our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) create a customized therapy plan that aligns with your child’s strengths, needs, and developmental goals. Therapy sessions are conducted in a safe, welcoming environment, and may include: One-on-one instruction Group social skills training Parent coaching and workshops Daily progress tracking and reporting We also offer in-home support and free transportation, making therapy accessible and consistent. Why Treeside Health? We’re more than a therapy provider—we’re a partner in your child’s journey. Our ABA team works closely with families, schools, and other specialists to ensure coordinated care that’s both effective and empowering. With Treeside Health, you’re not just enrolling your child in a program—you’re joining a supportive community that’s committed to growth, progress, and hope.

At Treeside Health, our approach to care goes beyond diagnosis and treatment—we’re focused on the overall well-being of each individual, especially children and families navigating the challenges of autism and other developmental concerns. One of the essential pillars of our services is Behavioral Health, which plays a critical role in emotional regulation, cognitive development, and family dynamics. What is Behavioral Health? Behavioral health is a broad field that encompasses mental health, emotional well-being, and behavioral patterns that impact daily functioning. In children, behavioral health support may address challenges like anxiety, ADHD, aggression, sensory sensitivities, or mood disorders. For parents and caregivers, it can involve stress management, coping strategies, or addressing emotional exhaustion. Unlike general mental health services, behavioral health focuses heavily on how behaviors are learned and shaped by the environment—especially important in early childhood development and in supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Why is Behavioral Health Important for Children? For children with autism or developmental delays, behavioral health support is crucial. It helps: Improve emotional self-regulation Build healthy coping mechanisms Reduce harmful or disruptive behaviors Foster better communication and social interaction Support parent-child bonding Children may express emotional difficulties through behavior rather than words. Addressing those behaviors with the right strategies ensures not only symptom management but also long-term emotional growth. How Treeside Health Supports Behavioral Wellness Our behavioral health team at Treeside Health includes experienced clinicians, behavior therapists, and licensed counselors who work together to create personalized treatment plans. We focus on: Individual and family therapy Behavioral assessments and intervention Social-emotional skill development Parent training and counseling Collaborative care with ABA and medical providers We understand that behavior is communication, and our job is to decode that behavior with compassion, strategy, and care. A Holistic Approach By integrating behavioral health with ABA therapy and other services, we ensure that each child receives comprehensive, whole-person care. We also provide support for parents—because healing and growth happen best when the entire family is empowered.
