Being Seen (with Lauren Haley) - Ep78

Can fostering animals lead to better practitioners?

Can reverting back to childhood preferences make for happier adults?

During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst business owner about walking the fine line between being autistic and also a BCBA who practices ABA, how she practices self care, and her favorite comfort snack.

Lauren Haley, BCBA, LBS, CTP

My name is Lauren, and I am the owner and founder of Better Care Consulting. I have a background in psychology with an undergraduate degree from West Chester University, and a Master’s in Education with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) from Temple University.

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Certified Trauma Professional, and an Adjunct Professor at Temple University. Over the course of my career, I've gained experience working in a variety of settings, including homes, schools, clinics, communities, and residential facilities. I've worked for both large and small companies, including privately owned small businesses and private-equity backed organizations. Each experience has shaped my understanding of what truly matters in providing quality care.

My clinical areas of focus include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), caregiver consultation, organizational behavior management (OBM), and school systems/education consultation.

What I’ve learned over the years is that meaningful care goes beyond helping my clients fit in. It’s about helping them thrive authentically in a world which was not designed with their needs in mind. Better Care Consulting was born from the realization that if I wanted to be part of the change I wished to see in this field, I needed to do something differently than what is currently being done. My goal is to offer care that empowers individuals to build a life that feels true to who they are, with the confidence to navigate challenges and advocate for themselves.

I also love sharing the science of behavior analysis in ways that are approachable, practical, and fun. Whether through professional development or mentorship, I strive to make complex topics accessible and engaging. Ultimately, my mission is to help individuals live authentically, feel empowered, and thrive.
