A Different Approach to Behavioral Health
Offering a unique combination of individualized in-home behavioral intervention, parent coaching, push-in school support, in-home ERP for OCD, social skills groups, social pairings, sports academy, school consultation, and telehealth services — all in one place, unlike anywhere else.
A constellation of services no one else in San Diego offers
San Diego Behavior Solutions isn't another general behavioral health practice. These eight programs, together, are what make us different.
Individualized In-Home Behavioral Intervention
One-on-one behavior support built entirely around your child, in the setting they already know.
Social Pairings
One-on-one sessions with your child and a matched peer, to work on friendship skills, communication, emotional regulation, and flexibility.
In-Home ERP for OCD & Anxiety
Exposure and Response Prevention — the leading evidence-based OCD treatment — delivered where it matters most.
Push-In School Support
Our specialists work directly inside the classroom alongside your child's teachers.
Social Skills Groups
Guided peer practice building real friendships, communication, and confidence.
Sports Academy
Learning social skills, teamwork, and emotional regulation through movement and play for kids that learn best on their feet.
School Observations & Classroom Consultation
Direct classroom observation informing practical, actionable recommendations.
Educational Plan Implementation & Family Consult
Turning IEP and 504 plans into consistent, everyday support at home and school.
A highly customized, tailored plan for every family
Our team of specialists integrate individualized behavioral intervention strategies, parenting programs, school support tools, and social skills training — never a strict, one-track program. Strategies are chosen to fit each child, not the other way around.
We also coach parents directly, so the skills learned in a session keep working long after we’ve left the room.
