In-Home ABA Therapy in Santa Fe, NM

Santa Fe is a city built around art, culture, and community — and your child deserves therapy that fits into that life, not the other way around. Luminaria brings BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to your home in Santa Fe, so your child can grow in the spaces where they feel safest.

Santa Fe Families Deserve Therapy That Comes to Them

Santa Fe (88K population, Santa Fe County) is the state capital with a rich cultural identity — but clinical ABA options are limited compared to Albuquerque. Many families face the choice of a 60-minute drive south on I-25 or settling for fewer local options.

In-home therapy means your child learns where they live — in their kitchen, their backyard, their favorite reading spot — not in a clinic an hour away.

What Your Child's Therapy Looks Like

Your child will work one-on-one with a trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs their treatment plan. Sessions happen at home, on your schedule — mornings, after school, evenings, weekends.

We focus on what matters most to your family:

  • Communication — helping your child express needs and connect with the people around them
  • Daily living skills — getting dressed, brushing teeth, mealtime routines
  • Social skills — taking turns, making friends, navigating playdates at places like the Railyard Park playground or Ashbaugh Park
  • Behavior support — replacing challenging behaviors with skills that serve your child better
  • School readiness — building focus, following directions, and the classroom routines your child needs for Santa Fe Public Schools

Everything is play-based, data-driven, and built around your child's strengths — not a one-size-fits-all program.
