Our Story
Built with Heart, Guided by Experience
The Linden Center was established in 2023 by two board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs). Having been in the field for over 10 years and having a passion for early intervention, we had a dream of creating a space conducive to supporting children and their individual needs.
While developing the center, it was important to us to include spaces to promote children’s strengths and encourage communication, social skills, and independence. Our hope is that The Linden Center becomes a safe space for families to feel welcomed and supported, no matter where they are in their journey.
Our Mission
A Space for Children to Thrive
and Families to Flourish
Our commitment is to create a natural, inclusive environment
where children can thrive and families feel supported, guided by
our values of dignity, collaboration, commitment, and growth.
BCBA Qualifications

Our BCBAs are certified through the BACB (Behavior Analyst Certification Board) and licensed in Michigan as Licensed Behavior Analysts (LBAs). They assess clients, set personalized goals in collaboration with caregivers, and ensure treatment plans are evidence-based and effective.
BCBA Responsibilities:
- Leading caregiver collaboration meetings.
- Supervising behavior technicians to ensure proper application of techniques.
