Jessica McClung
About The Owner
She founded ABS to reflect her core values—ethical care, authentic connection, and family-centered support. Her background in mental health counseling guides her holistic approach, allowing her to understand the whole child, support families with compassion, and communicate effectively across a variety of settings.
Jessica is dedicated to providing neuro-affirming, consent-based services that meet each child where they are and empower them to thrive. She is passionate about expanding access to high-quality, individualized ABA services so that more families can receive the support they need to help their children succeed.
As a mom to three neurodivergent children, Jessica blends professional expertise with personal insight, bringing both empathy and evidence-based practices to every family she serves. Outside of work, she enjoys life on the Treasure Coast with her husband and three boys, filling their days with beach trips, silly adventures, and plenty of family laughter.

Bryn Santa Rosa
Bryn is our lead Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with a passion for supporting children and helping them thrive through individualized, child-led therapy. My approach emphasizes meeting each child where they are, following their interests, and using natural motivation to build meaningful skills. I am currently in school and will soon be starting the student analyst program, where I look forward to gaining deeper knowledge and hands-on experience as I work toward becoming a behavior analyst. In my role as Lead RBT, I also enjoy training and mentoring staff to build confidence and provide support in delivering high-quality ABA services.
I love working with children and believe therapy should be both effective and joyful. Every session is an opportunity to build connections, celebrate progress, and empower children to reach their fullest potential.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and son, staying active with CrossFit, and practicing yoga to keep balance in my daily life.
