About Juniper Health and Wellness | Central Texas ABA

---

Young people don’t build confidence by being told what to do; they build it by doing real things in real environments.

At Juniper Health & Wellness, we believe life is built through the things that connect us: relationships, interests, independence, curiosity, and belonging. Led by specialized behavioral health experts, our practice provides trusted, in-home and community-based ABA therapy across Belton, Temple, Killeen, and throughout Bell County, Texas. We focus heavily on the crucial after-school hours when growing independence matters most for children and adolescents.

Real confidence doesn’t come from rote compliance or artificial clinic settings; it comes from functional competence in the real world. Grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and a strict commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care, we move beyond rigid clinic drills to deliver natural-environment teaching right where families live, play, and connect.

Our care is anchored in our signature Discover Joy & Support framework. By uniting rigorous behavioral science with a trauma-informed, flexible approach, we replace compliance-driven models with genuine engagement. We leverage natural reinforcement, behavioral momentum, and creativity to make skill-building intrinsically rewarding. Parents remain active partners every step of the way, seeing strategies in action and supporting ongoing growth.

Juniper Health & Wellness is founded and led by Dr. Ashley, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health (BCBA, DBH), a Master's degree in Special Education, and over 17 years of clinical experience. Serving local families since 2017, Dr. Ashley brings deep expertise to every client engagement.

By stepping away from traditional, restrictive clinical models, Dr. Ashley built this practice to offer families something better: individualized, transparent, natural-environment behavioral health services designed to empower parents, support real-world growth, and help young people build lasting functional confidence.

Integrity & Accountability

We hold ourselves to the highest ethical and clinical standards. We do what we say, take responsibility for our actions, and maintain absolute transparency with the families and communities we serve.

The "Discover Joy" Philosophy

We believe that true progress is built on motivation, positive reinforcement, and momentum. We bring creativity and genuine engagement to our work, transforming learning into an intrinsically rewarding experience.

Empathy & Radical Respect

We meet clients, families, and team members right where they are. We lead with patience, deep emotional attunement, and a trauma-informed approach that honors individual neurodiversity and lived experiences.

Evidence-Based Excellence

We ground our clinical framework in rigorous behavioral science, continuously refining our practice to ensure our interventions are both scientifically sound and practically effective in real-world environments.

Empowered Independence

We are fierce advocates for autonomy. When coaching a parent, supporting a client, or mentoring staff, our goal is to build sustainable habits and inner confidence that last a lifetime.

True Collaboration

We believe in a unified approach rather than working in silos. We partner closely as a team and walk hand-in-hand with families, sharing knowledge and resources to create a seamless circle of support.
