ABA therapy in New Bern, North Carolina is delivered by Mastermind Behavior right in your home, not in a clinic hours up the highway. We’re a BCBA-owned in-home ABA therapy provider serving Craven County families with children up to age 21 on the autism spectrum. In a region where CarolinaEast Medical Center anchors local pediatric care and the nearest center-based ABA clinics sit toward Greenville or Wilmington, the in-home model fills a real gap. Your child receives therapy in the rooms and routines where they actually live.
New Bern sits where the Neuse and Trent rivers meet, a historic waterfront city of about 31,000 residents and the seat of Craven County. CarolinaEast Medical Center, the heart of the CarolinaEast Health System, anchors medical care for the region, and Craven County Schools serves students from downtown New Bern to Havelock. This is also a community shaped by service: with MCAS Cherry Point just down US-70 in Havelock, many Craven County families are military families, used to moves, deployments, and starting over in a new town.
The access problem here is straightforward. Specialized pediatric autism services are spread thin across eastern North Carolina, and the nearest clusters of center-based ABA clinics sit toward Greenville or Wilmington, each a long haul on US-70 or US-17. For a family balancing school schedules, siblings, and a duty schedule on base, a standing round trip for every session isn’t realistic. In-home delivery removes that trip entirely, and it keeps your child’s routine steady at home even when one parent is deployed or working long stretches.
In our model, your BCBA writes the treatment plan based on what’s actually getting in the way for your child, and your Behavior Technician runs sessions in your home in New Bern. The skills practiced are the ones your child needs right where they live, at the kitchen table, at bedtime, on a walk through Ghent or along the waterfront downtown. Direct local delivery is the whole point of the in-home approach.
Mastermind Behavior is a BCBA-owned in-home ABA therapy provider serving families across North Carolina. We bring therapy to your home in New Bern, so your BCBA and Behavior Technician work with your child where the skills will actually be used, with no drive toward Greenville or Wilmington. With a 90%+ staff retention rate and no onboarding waitlist, most families begin direct services within six weeks of their initial assessment.




You’ll celebrate your child’s progress as we work on…
Children with ASD struggle to express their feelings and understand what others are saying. As your child learns to express their wants & needs with gestures, eye contact and language, you’ll feel relieved and hopeful now that you can understand and connect to them better.
Your child CAN function better in your daily life. From putting on their own shoes, to sitting in their chair at the dinner table, your child will learn to function better at home. As they master skills like going to the bathroom, or walking safely across the road, life will become calmer and easier for everyone.
We’ll address self-harm, tantrums and other destructive behaviors so your child can feel happier, safer and be understood. Dealing with these behaviors early on prevents these behaviors from becoming harder to manage as your child gets older.
