ABOUT

the naya difference

Naya Behavioral Health is a private practice ABA provider

Naya means "guidance" in Sanskrit and has evolved in many languages to mean "new".


Naya Behavioral Health was created out of the need for a shift in ABA therapy delivery. We are here to guide our families in a new, fresh, and collaborative manner to ensure our kids have fun and be surrounded by compassion, all while developing new skills. Kids should get to be kids! 


As a private practice, Naya Behavioral Health is not ruled by a bottom line, it's ruled by our clients and clinicians. While many ABA companies promote "client-first" practice, Naya Behavioral Health truly emphasizes a whole-child approach.

Team

Stephanie Behnke, MS, BCBA, IBA, LBA

Practice Owner, Clinical Director

Stephanie Behnke, MS, BCBA, IBA, LBA has worked in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) since 2015. She has extensive experience in the home, school, community, and clinical settings. Her approach can be described as naturalistic with an emphasis on play-based learning and individualized teaching. Although Stephanie has worked with children ages 1-16, her focus is in early intervention (ages 1-6). Her primary areas of interest include: language development, play/social skills, and daily living skills (self-dressing, toileting, feeding, etc.).


Stephanie sought the International Behavior Analyst (IBA) certification due to a dedication to incorporating culturally-relevant skills into programming and service delivery.

PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH

Learning is natural

Young children have lively, excited minds from the start. Everything is a learning opportunity. We strive to make the most of this natural curiosity by enabling them to experience, interact, and create meaningful interactions with their environment. Learning opportunities are further maximized by leaning into the child's areas of interest.
