History
Kaelyn Meinert graduated with a Masters in Psychology and went on to pass the Boards exam becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. After passing the exam she went on to work for a well established ABA company providing BCBA services to numerous families in the community. Then science began changing the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and this made Kaelyn eager to cultivate her own practice, one that would effectively intersect her expertise with her respective interests. She believes passion and experience are what drive a creative business and individual client success. Choosing to specialize in a field means that you are completely devoted to it; that you will continue to seek knowledge and individual growth in your field. That is the energy that sets Thrive Behavioral Solutions and it’s employee’s apart.
