Achieving True Self
Achieving True Self provides treatment and consultation services to individuals, families and their surrounding communities (schools, organizations) impacted by one or more behavioral health diagnoses, including those affected by an autism spectrum disorder in Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Our team takes pride in creating innovative plans grounded in evidence-based practice in order to help people of all ages achieve their unique goals. We recognize that each and every person’s journey is different, and therefore our approach to treatment capitalizes on a person’s strengths and desires in order to address deficits. Treatment is delivered utilizing techniques based in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA has over five decades of scientific research validating its effectiveness. We utilize such research-based interventions so that our consumers can feel confident in service delivery. We recognize that to provide the best services, you need the best team members. At Achieving True Self, we continue to develop a team of highly experienced clinicians and motivated administration who are eager to grow personally and value ongoing professional development. We are passionate about meeting our consumers and families where they are, and are committed to providing quality care with integrity. At Achieving True Self - people matter.
