About Us
Happy Minds Behavioral Health was created with a simple but powerful purpose: to provide high-quality, compassionate, and personalized ABA therapy in the comfort of each child’s home. We understand that no two families are the same, which is why we take the time to listen, adapt, and walk hand-in-hand with caregivers through every stage of their child’s development.
Our team is committed to delivering evidence-based behavioral therapy that empowers children to build confidence, independence, and meaningful life skills. We specialize in creating family-centered treatment plans that include caregiver support, collaboration, and culturally respectful services tailored to each household’s unique values and goals.
At Happy Minds, we believe progress doesn’t just happen in sessions — it’s built in the moments shared at home, at the dinner table, and during everyday routines. We are honored to be a part of those moments.
Happy Minds is more than a therapy provider – we’re a team of partners, supporters, and advocates, here to help your child thrive.

Questions and Answers
What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on understanding and improving meaningful behaviors. Through positive reinforcement, ABA helps teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors supporting children with autism and other developmental differences in reaching their highest potential.
At what age can my child begin ABA therapy?
ABA can be effective at any age, but early intervention beginning as early as 18 months is highly recommended. At Happy Minds, we create individualized programs that support your child's unique developmental stage, whether they are toddlers, preschoolers, or older.
How do I know if ABA therapy is right for my child?
If your child is experiencing difficulties with communication, social interactions, self-help skills, or shows behaviors that affect daily life or learning, ABA therapy may be a great fit. We offer comprehensive assessments to design personalized therapy plans tailored to your child's needs and goals.
What happens during an ABA therapy session?
Sessions are one-on-one and led by a trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). We use structured, engaging activities to teach communication, daily living skills, emotional regulation, and positive social behavior all in a way that feels natural and fun for your child.
Where is therapy provided?
We proudly offer in-home ABA therapy across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Delivering services in the home environment helps your child learn and apply skills in real-life settings supporting faster progress and meaningful change.
How often will my child receive therapy?
Therapy frequency is based on your child's specific needs and goals. Some children may benefit from a few sessions a week, while others may require more intensive daily support. Your BCBA will collaborate with you to build a schedule that promotes steady progress without overwhelming your child.
How involved are parents and caregivers in the therapy?
Family participation is a core part of our approach at Happy Minds. We provide structured caregiver training and ongoing support to ensure parents and caregivers are equipped to reinforce skills beyond sessions. Families are actively involved in the development and review of the treatment plan, helping to set meaningful goals and celebrate progress every step of the way.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we work with a variety of insurance plans to help families access the care they need. Our team will guide you through the process and help verify your benefits, so you can focus on your child's progress not the paperwork.
