ABOUT EMILY

“Hi, I’m Emily. I’m the clinical director and one of the co-founders of Cusps and Capabilities. I got into the field of ABA in 2013 and immediately fell in love with it. After several jobs in the sales industry, I just wasn’t feeling rewarded at the end of the day. It didn’t take long working as a behavior therapist to see how quickly progress could be achieved, and that reward is what hooked me!

Feeling like I could make an impact on the quality of lives in the children and families I worked with was something I had not experienced before, and as I continued to grow as a therapist, I realized the further impact I could make by continuing my education and getting my BCBA credential. Flash forward to today, and I am so proud of myself for making that decision.

In my years as a BCBA, I’ve had the opportunity to make meaningful changes on a wider scale. Providing families, colleagues, and individuals in the community with tools they understand and can implement themselves is one of my favorite aspects of what I do. I believe that the more we are aware, the more progress can be made! I hope to continue being a part of meaningful change in my future here at Cusps.” Emily Gilcrease, MA, BCBA, LBA/ Clinical Director
