About Happy Helpers
Clinical Leadership That Stays Involved
Happy Helpers Autism Center was founded to give families individualized, responsive ABA services without losing the direct clinical involvement that can disappear in larger organizations.
Founder & Clinical Director

Melissa is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with more than 15 years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis. Before founding Happy Helpers, she served as a Clinical Director for five years, leading clinical teams and overseeing individualized treatment programs.

Our Clinical Philosophy
Individualized
Every treatment plan starts with your child’s strengths, needs, and your family’s priorities.
Data Driven
We measure progress continuously and use the data to guide clinical decisions.
Family Centered
Caregivers are partners in treatment, not bystanders.
Collaborative
We coordinate with schools and other providers, with your authorization, to keep everyone working toward the same goals.
Generalization Focused
Skills are taught and practiced at home, at school, and in the community so they last.
Ethically Delivered
Our services follow the BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts and put the child’s dignity and wellbeing first.
Our Team
HHAC services are delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and overseen by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Our BCBAs assess each child, write and update treatment plans, supervise therapy, and train caregivers.
