Hayley Gordon M.S., BCBA

Biography

Hayley Gordon is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who began her career as a special education teacher in 2013. When parents of her students began requesting help beyond the classroom, she was inspired to pursue her master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at Georgia State University, which she completed in 2018.

Also born from my own life is a connection I feel with caregivers and loved ones of individuals with psychotic disorders; and those who are living with a severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) such as schizophrenia, psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder themselves. I am passionate about working with individuals with SPMIs, as well as their loved ones. It may be hard work at times, but I believe together, you can improve functioning, and quality of life, and find hope.
