We're Darienne and Chelsea — two Board Certified Behavior Analysts and friends of more than ten years. We met as undergraduates doing ABA research, went on to graduate school together, lived together, and worked side by side the whole way. ABA has shaped our careers and our friendship from the very beginning.
Over the past decade, we've worked for a number of companies across multiple states, and we've seen how much ABA has grown. As the field has expanded, we noticed that care can sometimes feel less personal, and that clinical decisions are strongest when they stay close to the people who know the child best. We created Creative Cascades to keep that connection at the center, delivering care that reflects our ethics and values. One belief matters most to us: decisions about a child's care are best made by a BCBA who knows the family and is guided by what is truly best for them. That's why we've kept Creative Cascades intentionally small, so care stays personal, relationships stay real, and every family feels genuinely known.
Chelsea is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst passionate about creative, play-based therapy. She graduated from the University of Florida with her bachelor's in Psychology and from the University of South Florida with her master's in Applied Behavior Analysis. She has over 10 years of experience working with ages 2 to 18 in a variety of locations such as clinics, communities, schools, and homes.
Outside of work, Chelsea is a certified yoga instructor and loves to stay moving, either with hiking or running. Chelsea loves spending time with her husband and their two dogs, Pajamas and Storm, and watching football (Go Gators!).
Darienne is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over ten years of experience. She graduated from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) with her bachelor's in Psychology and Special Education and from the University of South Florida with her master's in Applied Behavior Analysis. Following graduate school, her master's research was published in the peer-reviewed journal Behavioral Interventions. She's worked in a group home for children in foster care, pediatric clinics, community settings, schools, and even in a nursing home, where she worked with people with dementia.
In her free time, Darienne enjoys playing volleyball, reading a good psychological thriller, and listening to true crime podcasts. You can often find her walking through her neighborhood or at a nearby park! She loves spending time with her husband, daughter, and (goofy) dog!
