Elyse Scafidi, MA, BCBA, LBA

As a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Elyse is passionate about helping others thrive. She’s also deeply committed to early childhood teaching methods and has a talent for explaining ABA concepts in a clear, approachable way.

Elyse became part of our team in 2018. She was initially drawn to Personalized Therapy, LLC’s collaborative approach. She values how working as a team helps clients make real progress and gives staff and caregivers the tools they need to better support each person. Elyse has a special interest in leading social groups and loves seeing the difference—big or small—that our work makes in people’s lives.

Elyse studied Psychology at Kean University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree, and later completed her Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis at Ball State University. She is additionally certified to lead PEERS social groups. Elyse got her start in the ABA field in 2018 as a Registered Behavior Technician and has been growing in the field ever since.

Elyse loves spending quality time with her family and recharges by getting outside—whether it’s hiking or taking walks on the beach.
