Autism Specialist

Behavior Technician (ABA) – Part-Time

Make a Meaningful Impact While Building Clinical Experience

If you have a background in psychology, sociology, child development, or a related field—and are looking for hands-on experience working with children on the autism spectrum—this role may be a great fit for you.

At Heredia Therapy Group, we are committed to supporting children and families who are often underserved. This is a purpose-driven role where your consistency, patience, and dedication can make a lasting impact in a child's life.

This position is best suited for individuals who are genuinely interested in the behavioral health field and are seeking meaningful, real-world clinical experience—not short-term or exploratory work.

Heredia Therapy Group is a multi-specialty mental health organization with client care at the center of everything we do. We are passionate about healing. Whether clients are seeking clarity through assessment, growth through therapy, or support during uncertain times, our team is here to guide them.

We are committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based services that meet the diverse needs of our California communities.
