Taylor Ledesma

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in applied behavior analysis (ABA), mental health, and substance abuse treatment. Over the past five years, I have honed my skills in ABA, including two years of supervising behavior technicians, where I focused on promoting effective practices and fostering professional growth. I am eager to connect with other professionals in ABA, psychology, or related fields to collaborate, share insights, and advance the science of behavior and mental health.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in communications from Eastern Washington University and a master’s degree in applied behavior analysis from Capella University. I am certified as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA).

Currently, I work as an agency-affiliated mental health counselor at Providence, serving in the adult psychiatric unit. In this role, I support individuals navigating mental health challenges and help them improve their quality of life through tailored care and collaboration.
