Before You Apply

A Quick Pre-Screen for Future Clinical Leaders

You don't need to have run a caseload solo before, but the strongest BCBA applicants at Sierra Behavioral Therapy usually share a few things in common. If this sounds like you, keep going.

You lead with clinical integrity

Data-driven decisions, honest supervision, and a genuine belief in the plans you write.

You're a natural mentor

You'll supervise RBTs and BCaBA trainees, so clear, patient communication matters as much as clinical skill.

You want autonomy without losing support

Real decision-making authority, backed by a founder who's still active in the field with you.

You're building a career, not taking a job

This role suits someone thinking in years, not months — with real room to grow into leadership.

You'll likely qualify to apply if you:

  • ✓ Hold active BCBA (or BCBA-D) certification in good standing with the BACB
  • ✓ Are eligible for, or currently hold, Texas LBA licensure through TDLR
  • ✓ Have a master's degree in ABA, Psychology, Education, or a related field
  • ✓ Have reliable transportation across Tarrant County
  • ✓ Are eligible to work in the U.S. and can pass a background check
  • ✓ Are comfortable supervising RBTs and BCaBA trainees
Already licensed in Texas, bilingual in English and Spanish, or coming from a school-based setting?

That's a strong plus — and newly certified BCBAs are welcome to apply with mentorship support built in.

From Our Clinical Team

Real Clinicians. Real Impact.

Hear from BCBAs already leading care for families across the Arlington area.

I left a caseload of over twenty kids at my last job to come here. Now I actually know every family I work with — and my RBTs get real supervision, not a signature on a form.

Priya N. BCBA · In-Home · Arlington, TX

Martha is still in the field. That changes everything about how clinical decisions get made here — and how supported you feel making them.

Daniel W. BCBA · School-Based

As a bilingual BCBA, I finally get to lead care for Spanish-speaking families who couldn't fully access it before. That's work I'm proud of.

According to 2026 data from ZipRecruiter and Indeed, the average BCBA in Fort Worth earns roughly $85,000–$92,000 a year.

Is there a real path to Clinical Director?

Yes. As Sierra Behavioral Therapy grows across DFW, BCBAs who take on supervision and clinical program development are considered first for leadership roles.
