Lisa Jones

My name is Lisa, and I am the proud owner of Kindheart Behavioral Therapy. As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over two decades of experience, I've dedicated my life to helping children of all ages and developmental needs through the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA).

I've worked in diverse settings, including schools, daycares, community and ABA centers, and homes, helping children acquire the skills they need to succeed in all environments. I am truly honored and privileged to be part of the incredible field of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Born and raised in Chicago, I now reside in a peaceful rural town surrounded by picturesque farmland. My favorite daily ritual is watching the breathtaking sunset over the fields. My family shares a deep love of art and heartfelt respect for nature. We've enjoyed countless camping trips together and spent many memorable hours exploring Chicago's renowned museums.

I bring this love of art and creativity into my therapy by incorporating children's interests to make learning enjoyable. Hidden talents and skills are discovered and cultivated, which can lead to extraordinary achievements and a profound sense of self-worth.

My educational journey began at DePaul University, where I earned a bachelor's degree in early childhood education with a focus on therapeutic recreation. I then pursued a master's degree in education and behavior analysis from the University of Cincinnati.

Over the years, my treatment philosophy has evolved into a holistic one. I am passionate about helping individuals and families reach their full potential. My approach is rooted in compassion, understanding, and a deep respect for the unique needs of each child. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a supportive and nurturing environment.
