Hi, I’m Emma Burgess. I am a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA), and the founder of Burgess Behavioural Therapy.

I created Burgess Behavioural Therapy to provide compassionate, individualized support for children, youth, and families. I believe behaviour therapy should be respectful, practical, and tailored to the unique strengths and needs of each child and family. My goal is to help children build meaningful skills while supporting parents and caregivers with strategies they can feel confident using in everyday life.

Based in North Bay, Ontario, I work with families in areas such as emotional regulation, communication, social skills, independence, daily routines, school readiness, and behaviour concerns. I offer behaviour consultations, individual behaviour therapy sessions, and parent and caregiver coaching, and I can provide services in the home, school, daycare, or virtual environment depending on the needs of the child and family.

I am also trained in Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment (PFA-SBT), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2), and the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), and I value collaboration with schools, daycares, and other professionals to support consistency across settings.
