Behavioral Health Department

STRiVE offers behavioral assessments, consultations, counseling, and direct care to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities on Colorado’s Western Slope. In collaboration with interdisciplinary partners, we provide behavioral insights for psychiatrists on medication management and work with occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and licensed counselors to promote positive behavioral outcomes across therapeutic areas.

For more information or to schedule an initial intake appointment, please contact us. The intake session helps us understand the type of assistance and services required. Most insurances are accepted. Medicaid Waiver funding for behavioral services are also available and sliding scale as well.

Assessment

Our assessments provide in-depth insights into behavioral challenges across various context and environments. Information is collected through observation, clinical interviews, and tests to identify skill deficits, tailoring each assessment to the individual, their family, and household members. This is formalized into a behavior support plan, which includes strategies to address and mitigate behavioral concerns while teaching socially significant adaptive behaviors.

Consultations

Ongoing consultations support individuals and relevant parties, ensuring that any environmental changes, protocols, or strategies are addressed to maintain behavioral consistency. Regular reviews and updates are made to the behavioral support plan as needed.

You’ll work with:

• Licensed Psychiatrist
• Licensed Professional Counselors
• Board Certified Behavioral Analysts

Counseling

We offer individual and group therapy for individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities, utilizing psychotherapeutic and psychoeducational interventions. During counseling sessions, individuals learn and acquire skills to develop positive behaviors, self-management and more to improve their interactions with others.

Behavior Line Support

Behavior line staff work 1 – on – 1 with clients to implement the behavior support plan under the supervision of a behavior specialist, mitigating behavioral challenges and achieving individualized goals.
