Our Story
The Cove Behavioral Services was created by a team of professionals driven by a shared mission: to build an organization where people come first. Frustrated by corporate systems that undervalued clinicians and left families to navigate care alone, we chose a different path—one rooted in transparency, ethics, and empowerment.
​
Here, every policy is crafted with intention. We center communication, collaboration, and compassion at every level of care. Families are placed at the helm of their child’s journey, supported by well-trained clinicians who use evidence-based tools, standardized assessments, and ABA strategies to foster meaningful progress.
​
Our impact isn’t defined by size—it’s defined by values. We invest in our team, partner with families, and prioritize clarity in every process. At The Cove, we don’t just provide services. We create space for trust, growth, and lasting change.

Services
At The Cove, we offer compassionate, clinically grounded support for children and families navigating behavioral challenges. Our services are built around ethical practices, structured workflows, and a team-first philosophy that ensures alignment, impact, and sustainability.
1:1 Direct Therapy
Our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work one-on-one with each child. Using structured behavioral strategies and goal-focused interventions, we help individuals build meaningful skills across home, school, and community settings.
Family Coaching & Resources
We empower caregivers with hands-on guidance, de-escalation tools, and transparent workflows. Our branded materials and interactive coaching sessions ensure families understand the “why” behind every strategy and how to make it work in real life.
Supervision & Mentorship
We invest in the growth of our team through mentorship that blends clinical excellence with operational alignment. From RBTs to emerging leaders, we provide structured supervision, ethical guidance, and professional development pathways built for long-term impact.
