Behavior Services
Behavioral Consultations
Our licensed psychologist can meet with you to discuss behavioral concerns that you may have for your child. This service may or may not be reimbursed by your managed care company, but is offered as an out-of-pocket expense for ongoing services.
This service is offered at the Kentucky campus.
Contact Dr. Jenny Kimes to see how we can help.
Behavioral Therapy
DSL contracts with a certified behavioral therapist, Melisa Trent, for Behavioral Services. Melisa offers one-on-one behavioral therapy sessions on or off-campus as needed. When members are attending our Adult Development Academy (ADA), Melisa is able to work closely with the ADA staff to help with the follow-through of a behavioral plan.
We also have a Behavioral Health Provider on staff who is available to support you.
