Scope of practice

What this practice is and isn’t.

Plain language about what coaching at Rooted Pathways covers, and where it stops.

What this is

Rooted Pathways Behavioral Wellness LLC offers life and wellness coaching, informed by Applied Behavior Analysis. Coaching is education-based, future-focused, and built around goals you choose. It is delivered online by Toni Cavey, M.S.

What this is NOT

  • This is not therapy, psychotherapy, or mental health counseling.
  • This is not medical care, psychiatric care, or nutrition counseling.
  • This is not clinical Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) under any state’s licensure laws.
  • This is not diagnosis, assessment, treatment, or prevention of any condition.
  • This is not an emergency or crisis service.

About the coach

Toni Cavey holds a Master of Science (M.S.) in Applied Behavior Analysis. Toni is not a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), licensed therapist, psychologist, social worker, counselor, physician, or dietitian.

What coaching can support

  • Daily routines, schedules, and time management
  • Habit formation, habit change, and behavior design
  • Executive function strategies (task initiation, prioritization, organization)
  • Goal-setting and follow-through
  • Communication and self-advocacy in everyday settings
  • Caregiver strategies for everyday family routines
  • Workplace, study, and home environment design
  • Reflection, self-awareness, and values work
  • Education on behavior science concepts

What falls outside coaching

I will refer you to a licensed professional, and may pause or end coaching, when any of the following arise:

  • Diagnosis or treatment of any mental, developmental, or physical health condition
  • Crisis intervention, suicidal ideation, self-harm, or thoughts of harming others
  • Active domestic violence, abuse, or trauma processing
  • Medication recommendations
  • Custody, legal, or court-related matters
  • Clinical ABA, behavior intervention plans for medical or educational record, or services billable to insurance
  • Functional behavior assessments for clinical or educational decision-making
  • Anything that requires a licensed professional under your state’s laws
If you are in crisis

Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US), call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room. I am not an emergency service.

Full coaching agreement. All clients sign a coaching services agreement before the first session. The agreement is the controlling document for our work together.
