Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach to helping children build communication, play, daily living, and regulation skills. At Empowered ABA, sessions are play-centered and built on connection, never compliance-first.

Where is your office?

Our office is at 10828 Gravelly Lake Dr SW, Suite 102, Lakewood, WA 98499, minutes from Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and Tacoma.

Do you have a waitlist for ABA therapy?

No. We currently have openings and no waitlist. We evaluate each case individually and can tell you right away whether we can serve your family.

Do you accept TriWest for military families?

Yes. We are in network with TriWest, as well as Regence BlueShield, Premera Blue Cross, and First Choice Health. Aetna is out of network. We do not accept Medicaid (Apple Health) or Medicare.

What ages do you serve?

We provide insurance-funded ABA therapy for children ages 2 through 5 who live in Washington State.

Does my child need a diagnosis?

Yes. For insurance-covered ABA therapy, your child needs an existing autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (F84.0). If you don't have one yet, our parent resources and Parent Strategy Intensive can help in the meantime.

Put It in Practice · A focused session with Jes

You know you need to do something differently.You just don’t know how to actually do it differently this time.

Maybe you’ve read about boundaries. Maybe you understand your triggers. Maybe you already know exactly why you’re resentful.

Knowing isn’t necessarily the problem. You’re stuck on what happens next.

Bring the situation. We’ll figure out what you’re actually going to do when you’re back in it.

Booked an Empowered Intensive?

Is this for me?

“I keep saying I’m going to stop doing everything for everyone…and then I do it anyway.”

“I’ve asked him 100 times and nothing changes until I lose it.”

“I know I need a boundary with my mom. I don’t know what to actually say.”

“I say I’m fine and then get angry that nobody noticed I’m not.”

“I know I’m people pleasing. What do I actually do differently?”

“I don’t want another conversation where I explain myself for 45 minutes.”

“I know the advice. I need help applying it to MY situation.”

If one of these sounded like it came out of your own head, this session is for you.

You don’t need another Instagram post telling you to set a boundary.Let’s figure out how you’re actually going to set yours.

What we’ll actually do

This is where we can work together.

Put It in Practice is a session for taking what you’ve learned about yourself and figuring out how to use it when it matters.

Bring:

A situation you keep getting stuck in
A strategy you’ve struggled to follow through on
A pattern you’re ready to approach differently

You don’t need to have it perfectly understood before we start.

Together, we’ll look at what’s happening, what may be keeping the pattern going, and what you can realistically do differently when you go back into your actual life.

This isn’t a general consultation. It’s one real situation, worked through in detail, until you know what you’ll say and do.

Getting specific

My expertise in applied behavior analysis helps us get specific. We can break a big intention, like “hold better boundaries,” into something you can actually say and do. We can rehearse the words, identify when to use them, and plan for the discomfort or obstacles that might come up.

Start
A big intention
“Hold better boundaries.”
01
Something you can say and do
The actual words, in your voice.
02
When to use it
The moment, the cue, the situation.
03
Rehearse it
Practice it out loud before it counts.
04
Plan for what gets in the way
The discomfort, the pushback, the old habit.

You won’t leave with general advice. You’ll leave seeing your situation more clearly, with materials built just for it.

A clearer view

Real insight into what’s driving this moment, so it stops feeling so confusing.

Materials made for you

Tools created around your exact situation. Nothing generic, nothing pulled from a template.

A plan you’ll actually use

What to practice, when to try it, and how to notice what’s helping.

There’s room here to say,

“I understand the advice. I just need help making it work in my life.”

That’s what this session is for.

What happens after you book

Simple, and nothing to prepare perfectly.

01
Choose your time and tell me what’s going on.
A few sentences is plenty. You don’t need to have it figured out.
02
Check your email.
Your confirmation has your session time and how we’ll meet.
03
We meet for 50 or 75 minutes.
We look at the real situation and build what you’ll actually say and do.
04
You go back into your life with a plan.
Materials made for your situation, one specific thing to practice, and how you’ll know it’s helping.

The Full Session: 75 minutes, one-on-one with Jes, with insight and materials made for your situation. Open to new and returning clients. A standalone session doesn’t include an additional follow-up or the other Empowered Intensive materials.

Payment. Paid in full when you book. Payments are nonrefundable if you cancel, except where required by law.

Need to move your time? With at least 48 hours’ notice you can reschedule once, at no cost, to an open time in the next 60 days. Less notice? Reach out anyway—illness and emergencies are handled with care. A missed appointment without notice counts as a cancellation.

If I need to cancel, you choose a new time at no cost or a full refund for anything not yet delivered.

Good to know

A quick note about what this is—and what it isn’t.

Empowered Woman provides educational and behavioral consultation informed by behavior science and acceptance-based principles.

A Put It in Practice session isn’t psychotherapy, mental-health treatment, crisis care, medical treatment, or diagnosis. It isn’t meant to diagnose or treat trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, attachment disorders, or other mental-health conditions.

I understand this is educational behavioral consultation—not therapy, crisis care, or diagnosis—and I agree to the booking terms above (also on the Terms page).
