About Us

We help build skills

We use a behavior skills training approach. We teach the skills, we model the skills, we rehearse the skills and then provide reinforcement and feedback. We use an experiential approach in clinic, community and home settings. We believe skills need to be taught and reinforced naturally so they can generalize into all settings of life.

Philosophy

Our Purpose

At Crimson Heights we have the heart and passion to help children, youth and young adults with social, communication and executive functioning challenges move closer to independence. These challenges may be known as autism, intellectual disability, traumatic brain injury, ADHD, Reactive Attachment, Trauma, Oppositional Defiance, Conduct issues, and Obsessive-compulsive disorder. We offer services to these individuals and just about everyone else.

We use evidence based practices to teach individuals on the skills needed to be successful in their life. We strive to make the lives of the individuals we serve healthier and happier.

Mission

Executive

I graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Healthcare/Hospital Administration, focusing on Behavioral Health, and also earned a degree in Sociology. With over 20 years of experience in healthcare administration across various industries, I’ve developed extensive expertise in this field. As the Director of Business Development, I oversee infrastructure development, promote growth, analyze processes, and recommend policy changes to improve operations. I also provide input on recruiting, employee relations, and manage our scheduling department, along with our adult and teen day treatment programs, community programs, and extension offices in Cedar City, Kanab, Hilldale, and Mesquite. Collaborating with community partners and managing credentialing are also key aspects of my role. I believe that strong administration and passion are essential for successful operations, and my goal is to ensure that our administrative functions align strategically with all business areas to support the sustainability of Crimson Heights LLC.
