About Oak Soul ABA Therapy
Oak Soul ABA Therapy was born in Oakland, California — a city known for its strength, diversity, and creative spirit. Just like the oak trees that inspired our name, our roots run deep in this community. We believe that growth begins from within, nurtured by connection, resilience, and soul. Our telehealth model allows us to extend that same spirit of care beyond borders, supporting families across SF Bay Area and California with empathy and evidence-based precision.
Founded by a first-generation American BCBA, born and raised in Oakland, California, Oak Soul ABA Therapy was created with a deep commitment to community-centered, compassionate care. Oak Soul ABA was created to bridge the worlds of behavioral health, mental wellness, and cultural understanding. We recognize that healing and support is not one-size-fits-all — it’s personal, mindful, and deeply human.
We blend collaboration and clinical excellence to empower children and families to grow with balance, honoring each family’s unique rhythm, values, and identity.
Rooted in compassion and guided by science, Oak Soul ABA Therapy provides accessible, high-quality care through an approach that honors both the evidence and the energy behind transformation. Our philosophy reflects the strength of the oak, the depth of the soul, and the resilience to thrive through every season of change.
From Oakland to every home we serve, our mission remains the same: to help families flourish — mind, body, and soul. Through mindful collaboration, culturally attuned care, and the belief that progress can be both scientific and soulful, Oak Soul ABA Therapy continues to stand as a rooted, healing presence for the communities we serve.

Our Approach
qualities we hope to cultivate in every child
At Oak Soul ABA Therapy, we blend the science of behavior with the art of human connection. Our approach is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and evidence-based care — designed to meet each child and family exactly where they are. We believe that growth is most meaningful when it honors the whole person: mind, body, and soul.
Through our telehealth model, we make high-quality ABA therapy accessible to families across California. Every session is guided by data, empathy, and collaboration — ensuring that treatment plans are as individualized as the lives they touch. We don’t just teach skills; we build confidence, strengthen relationships, and nurture emotional resilience.
Our clinicians bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to every interaction. We take the time to listen, adapt, and celebrate small victories, knowing that progress unfolds differently for every family. By integrating mindfulness, cultural respect, and clinical precision, Oak Soul ABA Therapy transforms learning into healing — and therapy into empowerment.
