When life brings us challenges that are hard to understand, we lose sight of the power we hold within. The challenge becomes our focus and it consumes us. These services can help us re-focus on what is most important: the power of the individual. Our goal in providing the individual services is to explore and grow with our clients so that they may achieve the best versions of themselves, combining the client's strengths and tools to overcome challenges.
Individual counseling provides the dedicated space to develop a supportive professional relationship. It is within that space that we can stretch our minds, take risks, and make progress toward change.
Executive Function Coaching
Executive functioning (EF) is the ability to process tasks while fielding a constant stream of sensory and information input. In other words, it's how well we can multi-task not only in attention but in completion of detail. Our services help individuals who find EF difficult to do independently on a daily and possibly minute-by-minute basis. We use research-based techniques with technology tools to provide solutions and skills that will last a lifetime.
Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) uses data-based goals and research-based interventions to help improve the lives of individuals and families. When an individual has challenging behavior that impedes his/her quality of life or those of others, we can analyze for what reason the behavior is occurring, patterns of frequency and intensity, and what interventions are the most effective.
ABA at Raising the Ground is not clinic-based intervention. We use in-home and (when possible) in-school services to provide a person-centered plan, which includes wrap-around services and cooperative/collaborative planning. We do not use compliance training for ABA instead, we respect the individual and provide alternatives to the current function of the behavior.
Social
Our groups provide a unique way for individuals to experience and gain social skills in interpersonal relationships. This is NOT your typical social skills group! Each group follows a theme focused around a particular set of skills.
The activities are based on the current interests and tested methods that help provide buy-in and personal connection.
The groups usually follow the secondary/university school schedule. The size of the groups are kept small and ages are for secondary age groups (11 - 17) and adult groups (18+).

Educational Consultation
We have experienced the public education system from all sides: as students, as parents, and as professionals. Throughout our shared time as educators we have seen the impact of the K-12 experience on adults. We aim to use our unique perspective to offer support navigating the educational landscape of K-12 and higher education in order to achieve positive outcomes.
