Behavior analyst. Psychology doctoral candidate.

Behavior Is Only
Part of the Story.

The way we understand behavior shapes the way we treat people.

I'm Nisan Fetman, MA, BCBA. I bring behavioral science into conversations about relationships, mental health, and the decisions we make in care.

A clinician with a point of view

I believe we have powerful tools to change behavior. I also believe we need to be asking better questions about what we're changing, why it matters, and what we might be missing along the way.

The questions worth asking

01 / Parenting & relationships

Connection Before Compliance

What happens when we make the parent-child relationship a starting point for behavioral intervention rather than an afterthought?
