John Kimbriel, MA, BCBA, LBA
Board Certified Behavior Analyst
John was born and raised in the suburbs of Richmond and returned to the area over two years ago after living in Austin, Texas, to be closer to family. He became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst just before leaving Austin and has worked in the field for over a decade. Though initially drawn to behavior analysis through his passion for teaching, John chose to pursue a career in the field after witnessing the meaningful impact it has had on the lives of his clients and their families.
Throughout his career, John has worked with children, teens, and adults with autism and related developmental disabilities. His work has focused on building skills in functional communication, daily living independence, and socialization.
In his free time, John enjoys exploring the city on his moped, catching films at the Byrd and Bowtie theaters, running through local roads and trails, and discovering new spots to eat!
