Led by Dr. Steve Woolf, PhD, BCBA-D (President) and Molly McGinnis, M.Ed., BCBA (Vice President of Clinical Services), we prioritize your success so you can focus on what matters; making a socially meaningful change in the lives of children and families.

Why BCBAs Choose Butterfly Effects

  • BCBA Leadership: BCBAs hold key roles across management and senior leadership. Your expertise shapes clinical practice and company direction, not just individual caseloads.
  • Ethical, High-Quality Standards: As a fully accredited BHCOE organization, we uphold BACB guidelines and prioritize meaningful supervision, family involvement, and evidence-based ABA. No rigid quotas.
  • On-the-Ground Support: Each market has a locally or regionally based clinical director available for real-time guidance and collaboration. You are never working in isolation.

Our BCBAs earn above the national average. Here is what your total package looks like:

  • Base Salary: $95,000 - $105,000
  • Performance Bonus: Quarterly incentives up to $12,000 annually
  • Total Potential: Up to $117,000

Additional Benefits

  • PhD Support: University partnership discounts plus $2,000/year tuition support toward your doctorate.

  • Health Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, supplemental coverage, and HSA options.
  • Retirement: 401(k) to build your future.

Professional Development & Clinical Community

We invest in your growth because better BCBAs produce better outcomes - for clients and for our organization.

  • Case Reviews: Monthly clinical case reviews with all peers and clinical leadership.
  • "PD Speaker Series": Internal CEU presentations led by thought leaders - experts you may only otherwise see at national conferences.
  • Mentorship: New or early-career BCBAs receive personalized guidance from experienced BCBA mentors.
  • Research & Publications: Our team has contributed to 15+ publications in journals including the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. Collaborate and present at national conferences.
  • CEU Funding: In-house CEUs annually, plus funding for external conferences, live events, and our annual Clinical Conference.

Your Role at Butterfly Effects

As a BCBA on our interdisciplinary team, you will:

  • Lead & Supervise: Oversee RBTs and BTs to ensure consistent, high-quality ABA service delivery.
  • Assess & Plan: Perform functional behavior assessments, develop individualized treatment goals, and create evidence-based intervention plans.
  • Empower Families: Lead monthly caregiver training sessions to build long-term family capacity.
  • Coordinate Care: Collaborate with therapists, educators, and other professionals for holistic client outcomes.

Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or a related field.
  • Active BCBA certification from the BACB.
  • Passion for working with children and families affected by autism spectrum disorder.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills for interdisciplinary teams.

All experience levels welcome - we tailor opportunities to your career stage.
