hello.

Michelle Bauknecht, M.A., BCBA

I’m Michelle Bauknecht—owner and lead consultant of Creative Solutions Behavioral Consulting and Collaborative Services. For over 15 years, I’ve worked in both clinical and school settings, supporting children, families, educators, and teams through some of their biggest behavioral challenges. My heart is in the work I do—whether it’s helping a child succeed in the classroom, guiding a family through the IEP process, or supporting a teacher with effective strategies that actually work. I specialize in emotional and behavioral disabilities, severe problem behaviors, school-based behavior planning, and functional behavior assessments. But more than that, I believe real, lasting change happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered. That’s why I work side-by-side with families and educators to provide the tools, understanding, and encouragement they need to navigate behavior with confidence. You're not in this alone—and I'm here to help.
