Get to know the caring, compassionate team behind Atlas Behavior Consulting.
Founder & Owner
Hayley Bowen
Board Certified Behavior Analyst · She/Her
Hayley has been in the field of ABA since 2018 and in the pediatric therapy realm since 2011. As the founder and owner of Atlas Behavior Consulting, she started this journey after realizing that many ABA practices lacked the heart and compassion she believes are essential for true, patient-centered care. With a background in pediatric physical therapy and a passion for holistic approaches, she founded Atlas to be a place where we lead with heart and prioritize the well-being of every individual we serve.
Hayley recently became a certified yoga teacher, which enriches our practice by allowing us to incorporate even more movement and mindfulness techniques into our work. When she’s not focused on Atlas, she loves embracing the Colorado lifestyle with her better half, Tori, and their two dogs, Oakley and Lincoln. Whether they’re hiking, snowboarding, camping, enjoying outdoor concerts, or practicing yoga, they find joy in the beauty of the outdoors and the balance it brings to their lives.
