Clinical Support
Sullivan & Associates Clinical Team is comprised of Licensed/Certified Clinical Social Workers, Mental Health Counselors, and Behavioral Analysts, all supervised by a full time Licensed Clinical Psychologist. Each program participant is assigned an individual Treating Clinician from this team. The Treating Clinician oversees all aspects of the individual's clinical programming, including clinical assessment and treatment plan development, staff training, progress monitoring, and direct clinical service provision. The Treating Clinician works closely with the Residential Team to coordinate and support any necessary external clinical services, such as psychiatry, additional counseling, or educational/vocational providers. We monitor progress and performance through objective daily behavioral data collection, and compile and share this information with outside providers so that they may make better informed treatment decisions. Sullivan & Associates Clinicians are available for individual and group therapy where community based services are unavailable or inappropriate. In addition to our clinical expertise in working with this population, the Clinical Team has an in-depth understanding of state and funding agency regulations and policies.
Specific clinical expertise includes:
- Applied Behavior Analysis
- Behavioral & Cognitive Therapy
- Direct Skills Instruction, including social & community interaction skills
- Functional Analysis & treatment of challenging behaviors
- Staff and Caregiver training & support
- Behavioral & Psychological Assessment
- Research and publication in providing behavioral & mental health services
- Autism Services, including communication skills assessment, ABA, and discrete trial/direct instruction
- Services for neurological deficits, including acquired brain injury and Alzheimer's Disorder
We also offer psychiatric services through a consulting psychiatrist. Sullivan & Associates has strong relationships with colleges and universities and serves as an official practicum-training site for the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
