Today we have the joy of talking with Nicole Parks, BCBA, LBA, IBA. Nicole has been working as a behavior analyst for two decades and has worked with clients of all ages. She has experience in early intervention, substance abuse, psychiatric disorders, organizational behavior management and acceptance and commitment therapy. She founded Rooted Consultation in 2020 to help new and established businesses focus on ethical and sustainable business practices. Nicole’s love for behavior science and expanding the reach of ABA has driven her to advocate for behavior analysts in spaces outside of autism and developmental disabilities.

During our conversation today, we discuss Nicole’s experience with forensic behavior analysis and her work as a behavior analyst supporting patients in the psychiatric hospital. We dive into how she facilitated collaboration between the medical, mental health, and behavior analytic approach to help enhance therapeutic environments and improve outcomes for her patients. We also discuss Nicole’s passion for expanding the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and how she has found new avenues to help support future generations of behavior analysts.
