Structured Support to Reduce Problem Behaviors and Build Consistent, Positive Habits

Behavior Is Learned — Which Means It Can Be Unlearned and Replaced

When emotional or developmental challenges lead to harmful, disruptive, or unsafe behavior, families and individuals often feel overwhelmed — not by the child or person, but by the cycle they can’t seem to break. Behavioral Modification gives you a clear, proven system to make change happen — not with shame or punishment, but with consistency, positive reinforcement, and compassionate guidance.

At Neubauer Mental Health Services (NMHS), we offer behavioral modification therapy to help children, adolescents, and adults reshape how they respond to stress, routines, transitions, and interpersonal challenges — so they can succeed at home, at school, and in life.

What It Can Help Address

Refusing to follow rules or directions

Verbal or physical aggression

Risky, impulsive, or disruptive behavior

Screaming, throwing items, or running away

Resistance to transitions or change

Difficulty completing tasks or routines

Poor response to verbal correction or traditional discipline

Tantrums, shutdowns, or explosive reactions

How NMHS Applies Behavioral Modification

Our therapists will:

Conduct a functional behavior assessment (FBA) to understand the “why”
Identify target behaviors and replacement behaviors
Create behavior plans with input from family, caregivers, or educators
Teach emotional regulation and coping skills alongside behavior plans
Coach parents and caregivers in consistent follow-through
Adjust the plan as the client progresses and builds new habits

When needed, we collaborate with schools or other providers to create a consistent support system across environments.

Who Can Benefit

We tailor your treatment to your unique goals and situation. Therapy may include:

Children with frequent meltdowns or aggression

Teens struggling with school compliance or peer conflict
