Our Story

Momentum Behavioral Health was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and every family deserves compassionate support along the way.

At the beginning of her college journey, Dr. Arlette Parrado witnessed firsthand the challenges many families faced while seeking quality services for children with developmental and behavioral diagnoses. She saw gaps in care, long waits for services, and families struggling to find the guidance and support they deserved. Those experiences ignited a passion that would shape her career and ultimately become the foundation of Momentum Behavioral Health.

Rather than accepting those challenges as the norm, Dr. Parrado dedicated herself to becoming part of the solution. Through years of education, clinical training, and hands-on experience, she earned her Doctorate in Psychology, combining advanced clinical expertise with a lifelong commitment to serving children and families.

With that vision, Momentum Behavioral Health was created—a place where families feel welcomed, heard, and supported from the very first conversation. Today, our team provides individualized ABA therapy, mental health therapy, tutoring, and parent training, all rooted in evidence-based practices, compassion, and meaningful relationships.

At Momentum, we believe that every child has unique potential, every family deserves unwavering support, and every milestone—big or small—is worth celebrating. Because when children are given the right tools and families are empowered with the right guidance, meaningful progress becomes possible.

Every step forward is Momentum.
