Our Mission

SEE OUR MISSION

We have the heart and passion to fulfill

At Crimson Heights we have the heart and passion to help teens and adults with social, communication and executive functioning challenges move closer to independence. These challenges may be known as autism, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, oppositional defiance, conduct issues, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. We offer services to these individuals and just about everyone else.

We use evidence based practices to train individuals on the skills needed to be successful in their life. We strive to make the lives of the individuals we serve healthier and happier.

Mission

We help build skills

We use a behavior skills training approach. We teach the skills, we model the skills, we rehearse the skills and then provide reinforcement and feedback. We use an experiential approach in clinic, community and home settings. We believe skills need to be taught and reinforced naturally so they can generalize into all settings of life.

Philosophy

Ryan is deeply passionate about assisting children, youth and young adults facing social, emotional, and behavioral challenges on their path towards independence. He possesses a fervor for experiential learning, utilizing the outdoors as a dynamic environment to impart crucial life skills. Ryan's enthusiasm extends to entrepreneurship, where he endeavors to fuse evidence-based practices with entrepreneurial principles in the provision of care at Crimson Heights. He firmly holds the belief that, within the right learning context, every individual can harmonize with their personal values and forge a path toward a productive, successful, and fulfilling life. His dedication to these ideals drives his commitment to empower, guide and help others thrive.
