How NYC parents choose
- These are non-clinical parenting coaches — they work with parents and do not diagnose or treat children.
- No BCBAs, ABA providers, psychologists, or clinical therapists are listed here, on purpose.
- If behavior is unsafe, sudden, or flagged by school, start with your pediatrician, not a coach.
- Credentials, pricing, and quotes are reproduced verbatim; a blank means we could not verify it.
Important
Everyone listed here is a non-clinical parenting or behavior coach. They are not therapists, psychologists, or behavior analysts: they do not diagnose, they do not treat, and they do not provide ABA or any other clinical intervention. Coaching is support for parents, not treatment for children. If your child’s behavior is putting them or anyone else at risk, or you suspect an underlying condition, start with your pediatrician, who can refer you to a licensed clinician.
Common questions NYC parents ask
What does a child behavior coach actually do?
A NYC child behavior coach works with the parent, not the child. They help you read what’s driving a behavior, then give you concrete things to say and do — around tantrums, limits, transitions, sibling conflict, bedtime resistance, and big feelings. They are coaches and educators, not clinicians, and they do not diagnose or treat.
Is a behavior coach the same as a BCBA or an ABA provider?
No, and this directory deliberately excludes them. BCBAs and ABA providers deliver a clinical behavioral intervention, usually to the child and often billed to insurance. The coaches here work with parents on everyday parenting, are not licensed to treat, and take no insurance for clinical services. If you are looking specifically for ABA or a clinical behavioral assessment, ask your pediatrician for a referral rather than using this page.
When should I call a clinician instead of a coach?
Call your pediatrician first if your child’s behavior is unsafe to themselves or others, if it appeared suddenly or changed sharply, if it is affecting eating or sleeping badly, if school has raised a formal concern, or if you suspect a developmental or mental-health condition. A coach can be a good complement to clinical care, but is not a substitute for an evaluation.
How much does a child behavior coach cost in New York?
Rates vary a lot, and most coaches sell packages rather than single hours. Where a coach posts their rates publicly we reproduce them verbatim; where they don’t, the field is blank rather than estimated. Most offer a free or low-cost intro call, which is the cheapest way to find out whether the fit is right.
Do these coaches work over video?
Most do. Parent coaching translates well to video because the work is a conversation with you about what happened at home, not an observation of your child. We mark who offers virtual support — which means a coach in Westchester or Brooklyn is a realistic option wherever in the metro you live.
