MARQUETTE — Functional Behavior Services (FBS) is a privately-owned outpatient therapy clinic specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and mental health therapies. FBS is celebrating the opening of its new location at 2353 Badger St. in Marquette Township. FBS provides services to individuals of all ages and abilities, specializing in individuals with different learning styles who need a more hands-on approach and integrative strategies. Services are provided in individual and group formats based on the individual’s needs. The new clinic location includes individual treatment rooms, a large playroom, a life skills/ kitchen group room, and an outside park/ wooded area for multiple and varied learning opportunities.

FBS was founded in 2015 by Carrissa Rondeau, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, and Licensed Clinical Therapist, to expand and enhance the services available to individuals and families throughout the Upper Peninsula. From its humble beginnings as its sole therapist, Carrissa has grown the practice to employ seven Board Certified Behavior Analysts, four Licensed Therapists, six Behavior Technicians, and Clinical Support Staff.

The success of FBS would not have been possible without the past and present professional, talented, and dedicated individuals that work tirelessly every day to ensure our learners and their families lead a more productive and fulfilling life. Carrissa would also like to extend a warm, heartfelt thank you to her husband, children, and parents, who have spent tireless hours supporting this clinic’s growth and development. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed and are so appreciated.

FBS looks forward to continued community engagement as they strive to support friends and neighbors with skill acquisition, behavioral and mental health needs. To learn more about the services FBS provides and to meet the current staff, visit their Facebook Page or their website at www.fbsmi.com
