Alevtina (Alia) Basantsov

Board Certified Behavior Analyst

Alevtina has worked with children for over 15 years, helping to better their and their parents’ lives. She started working as a summer camp organizer to build communities and create events for families, finding a passion for helping children overcome obstacles in their social and developmental lives. Three years ago, she decided to take a leap of faith to pursue her passion as a career: starting as an RBT and quickly growing to become a BCBA, loving every minute of her journey.

She believes in helping to build happy, fulfilling lives for everyone. Having a lot of experience in early intervention therapies with non-verbal clients.

Alevtina was born in Moscow and grew up traveling all over Europe. She is fluent in Russian and English. She loves smiles, sunshine, and beaches, spending time with family, and growing her daughter.

What is important to you, for your client to feel, when working with you?

My clients should be happy, relax and engaged. I'm their friend first and then the therapist.

Who do you believe you are for a client as they manage their problems?

I love to teach clients how to adjust their behaviors in social aspects. How to get what they need using social appropriate behavior.

What drives your passion for seeing clients?

Seeing all incredible changes! Empowering caregivers and give them tools for successful parenting.

How do you believe clients "get better"?

By learning through play and being heard.

I strongly believe that good pairing with a client and parents is a way to success. I love seeing collaboration between different professionals and parent involvement.
