More Than Letters After My Name: A Mission Worth Continuing

Sometimes the path you’re on takes a turn you never expected. 💛 

A little over two years ago, legislative changes surrounding the ownership of ABA practices left me with a decision to make: step away from the ABA portion of In2Great, or go back to school and become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst myself. 

For me, the choice was pretty simple. 

There was no way I was going to walk away from the children who depended on these services, the families who trusted us, or the incredible staff who had chosen In2Great as the place to do the work they love. 

So…back to school I went. 📚 

There were many classes, countless late nights, 1,500 hours of supervised fieldwork, a lot of juggling, and one very big exam at the end of it all. 

And today, I’m incredibly grateful to share that in addition to being an occupational therapist for more than two decades, I am now officially a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). 

This was never about adding more letters after my name. It was about protecting something I believe deeply in and continuing to build the kind of care I want for the children we serve. 

In2Great has always been therapist-owned, therapist-led, and therapist-operated. We aren’t a private equity or venture capital company. We are clinicians who believe decisions about children and therapy should be driven by quality, compassion, collaboration, and what is best for each individual child. 

I’m still just one gal with a mission….only now I have another tool in my toolbox to help carry it forward. 💛 

Here’s to continuing to learn, continuing to grow, and continuing to do right by our kids, families, and team.
