Nicole Parks, MBA, BCBA, LBA
Nicole has been a dedicated behavior analyst for over two decades, working with clients across the lifespan. With a background spanning early intervention, substance abuse, psychiatric disorders, organizational behavior management (OBM), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), she brings a diverse range of expertise to her role as the Director of Clinical ABA and Residency Program at Come Together Behavioral Learning.
In her current role, Nicole specializes in Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), applying these evidence-based practices to support clients with multiple diagnoses and their families. She also leads the residency program, mentoring aspiring BCBAs and providing them with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to excel in their careers. Nicole's commitment to expanding ABA beyond autism and developmental disabilities fuels her advocacy for the field’s growth into new arenas.
In 2020, Nicole founded Rooted Consultation, combining her expertise in OBM and ACT to help businesses integrate ethical and sustainable practices. Rooted Consultation also serves as a platform for Nicole to advance the science of behavior analysis beyond its traditional applications. Through this work, she has been able to support businesses in improving employee satisfaction and retention, while also expanding the reach of ABA into new industries and settings.
When Nicole isn’t advancing the field of behavior analysis, she enjoys road trips, movies, and spending time with her husband, kids, and pets. A self-proclaimed coffee fanatic, she loves exploring local coffee shops wherever she travels. Fall is her favorite season, and she’s a big fan of horror movies, with the original Halloween and the Scream franchise topping her list.
