Our Services

At PNW Roots Behavior Therapy and Counseling, we provide trauma-informed, person-centered support for individuals with developmental, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Working in homes and communities, we focus on building life skills, fostering independence, and preventing crisis. Each support plan is tailored in collaboration with individuals, families, and care teams to promote lasting growth and stability.

We are a contracted provider through Washington State’s Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA). If you are a DDA client and authorized for services such as Life Skills, Staff and Family Consultation, or Crisis Prevention and Intervention Stabilization, you are entitled to receive care through PNW Roots—at no cost to you.

In addition to our DDA contracts, we are also an approved provider under the Governor’s Office HB 1580 initiative, which offers specialized stabilization services for individuals experiencing high-risk behavioral or placement challenges.

We provide individualized, in-home and community-based support to help clients build essential life skills and achieve greater independence.
Areas of focus include:

  • Self-advocacy and empowerment

  • Personal safety and daily living skills

  • Emotional regulation and healthy relationships

  • Community navigation and inclusion

Life Skills

We provide:

  • Behavior and communication strategies

  • Transition planning support

  • Collaboration with care teams

  • Resource navigation and referrals

CPIS (Crisis Prevention Intervention Stabilization)

When someone is experiencing a crisis while hospitalized, in a treatment facility, incarcerated, or at immediate risk of institutionalization, our team steps in with immediate, short-term support to restore safety and stability. CPIS services are non-waiver based and must be authorized through the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA).

Support includes:

  • Crisis prevention planning

  • In-the-moment de-escalation and intervention

  • Stabilization and follow-up care

  • Coordination with families, counselors, and care teams
