About The Position

Cortica is seeking a passionate Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join its team at a new Mesa location as the first BCBA and part of the founding team. Cortica is a unified team of doctors and therapists specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders. Its approach emphasizes collaboration, long-term outcomes, assent-based individualized care, and support from physicians, speech, occupational, and mental health therapists.

The position is based primarily out of the Warren clinic.

The schedule is primarily daytime, with one or two evenings per week extending to 6:30–7:00 PM; other days typically end around 5:00 PM. Caseloads are balanced across daytime and evening clients.

Support includes hybrid flexibility for supervision when appropriate and administrative tasks; clinical supervisors for case consultation; transdisciplinary collaboration; individualized caseloads; care coordinators for scheduling and logistics; BT managers for performance and operational support; and BT trainers who lead a three-week orientation and support BCAT testing. Professional development includes internal CEUs and virtual trainings, clinical rounds and company-wide meetings, a clinical ladder from BCBA I–IV, and opportunities to grow into leadership, training, consultative, and operational roles.

Compensation includes a base salary of $95,000–$105,000, a dual bonus program with $61–$76 for each additional billable hour plus up to 10% of monthly salary based on ABA direct service hours, averaging $5,000–$10,000 or more annually, and a first-year retention bonus of up to $7,500.
