Helping Adults with Disabilities Live Fully and Thrive

At Excentia Human Services, we provide compassionate, person-centered behavioral health services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our team works alongside individuals to overcome behavioral, emotional, and social challenges, helping them gain confidence, build independence, and thrive in their communities.

Our services are ideal for individuals who may not benefit from traditional clinical settings but still require the tools and support often associated with mental health counseling and behavior therapy.

Who We Support

At Excentia Human Services, our adult behavior support services are designed for individuals age 18 and older who are seeking compassionate, functional support to overcome behavioral and emotional challenges.

We serve:

  • Adults with a diagnosis of intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, or related developmental conditions
  • Individuals experiencing behaviors that disrupt daily routines, social relationships, or personal safety
  • People looking for help with community integration, job readiness, or developing independent living skills
  • Adults currently receiving mental health counseling or transitioning from a mental health facility, who would benefit from consistent, community-based behavioral support

Our team builds individualized plans based on each person’s goals—blending the structure of behavior therapy with the flexibility needed to address real-life situations. We incorporate principles from cognitive behavioral therapy and other person-centered approaches to promote meaningful, long-term progress.

What You Can Expect

At Excentia Human Services, our behavior support team works with individuals to build real-world skills using person-centered, evidence-based strategies. Drawing from techniques rooted in behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, we focus on long-term success—not quick fixes.

You can expect compassionate, respectful support that helps individuals:

  • Develop healthy routines and emotional coping strategies
  • Improve communication and self-expression
  • Strengthen social skills and relationships
  • Gain independence through daily living and employment skills
  • Reduce harmful or limiting behaviors in a safe, supportive way

Our services are an integral part of our broader behavioral health services for adults. Each plan is uniquely tailored to reflect the individual’s goals, strengths, and preferences—always delivered in a way that respects their voice and autonomy.

Where We Provide Services

We believe behavior support works best in environments where individuals feel most comfortable and empowered. That’s why we provide flexible, community-based care designed to complement existing supports, including mental health counseling and other services from a mental health facility.

Services can be delivered in:

  • The home – supporting routines, emotional regulation, and family interaction
  • Workplaces – promoting job success, coworker relationships, and self-confidence
  • Day programs or vocational centers – encouraging participation, communication, and structure

Public settings – practicing skills like navigating stores, using transportation, or handling busy environments

Building Everyday Success

Success looks different for every person—and that’s exactly how we approach it. Whether someone is managing anxiety in social settings or preparing for independent living, we help build the skills that make a difference.

Examples of real-life outcomes we support include:

  • Learning how to prepare meals, shop for groceries, or manage a budget
  • Managing stress and building emotional resilience using cognitive behavioral therapy tools
  • Strengthening self-advocacy and decision-making
  • Preparing for job interviews, volunteer roles, or continuing education
  • Reducing behaviors that interfere with daily life or personal growth

Each step forward is a success. We are proud to offer behavioral health services that help individuals lead more connected, empowered, and fulfilling lives.
