Welcome to Mind Body Behavior

Where we are dedicated to shaking up the status quo in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis.

And because you are already here, let us let you in on a little secret...

Just because you are a RBT or BCBA does not mean you have to work with children or adults with autism or developmental disabilities.

Stop right here. We know what you're thinking:

- "Yeah, yeah, I've heard that before, but I don't know WHERE or HOW to start doing anything else. "

-"Sounds cool, but I have to make a living. How will I make money anywhere else?"

-"But I already spent time, money, and mental energy into getting a career in behavior analysis. I don't want it to go to waste."

You can persue a career in behavior analysis without working in the traditional setting and we are here to tell you exactly how to do it.

I'm Ready To...

Sarah Burby M.A., BCBA, NBCHWC — founder of Mind Body Behavior LLC

Meet the Founder:

Sarah Burby, M.A., BCBA, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Certified Teacher, Precision Nutrition Certified, Certified Barre Instructor, Adjunct Professor

Hey there! I'm so glad you're here!

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and a certified K-6 teacher in the state of New Jersey. I am also a certified Barre Eclipse instructor, have completed the Precision Nutrition Level 1 program, and have extensive training in Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I am the founder of Mind Body Behavior, LLC, where I utilize the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide one-on-one health coaching to clients who struggle with body image and disordered eating. I also offer small business mentorship.

Through Mind Body Behavior, I have developed a supervision program, ELEVATE, that allows BCBA candidates to accrue their fieldwork hours in settings outside of autism and developmental disabilities. The program currently includes BCBAs who specialize in health coaching, personal training, adaptive personal training, yoga and mindfulness, trauma-informed care, organizational behavior management, and working with teens. I am passionate about providing high-quality supervision so BCBA candidates can graduate and practice outside of traditional settings with both confidence and competence.

I am also one of the authors of the "Bridging the Gap Curriculum," the only BCBA curriculum that focuses on applying the BACB task list exclusively to health, sport, and fitness.

I have also created the first and only National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) approved program tailored specifically for students with a background in Applied Behavior Analysis. Students who complete the Mind Body Behavior Health Coaching Certificate Program earn 32 BCBA continuing education units and are eligible to sit for the NBHWC board exam.

Additionally, I authored "Confidently Me!"—an activity wellness book for kids to proactively address body image—and developed a K-8 after-school enrichment program titled “Girls Rise: A Community Building Confidence, Fueling Empowerment, and Fostering Resilience,” the only evidence-based program in New Jersey that proactively and systematically addresses body image in school-aged children. I have also created a 150-page eBook for parents that provides strategies and guidance for raising body-confident kids.

My areas of clinical expertise include Intuitive Eating, Motivational Interviewing, the Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change), Behavior Skills Training, and school consultation.

I have presented on the application of ABA to health and wellness at various conferences, including NJABA and ABAI, and will be presenting at the Self, Set, Go virtual conference in October.

I can't wait to support you!

Mission: Mind Body Behavior is dedicated to empowering ABA practitioners to push boundaries and expand the science of ABA, guiding them to practice with confidence and competence.
