Science-based care.
Human-centered delivery.

At South Bay Behavioral Psychology, we believe every person has the capacity for meaningful growth. Our work is grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis — one of the most thoroughly researched, evidence-based fields in behavioral health.

But evidence alone isn't enough. We take the time to understand each family's unique situation and build practical strategies that fit real life — not just clinical theory.

We've collaborated with leading BCBA organizations throughout Los Angeles and maintain a trusted network of specialists in autism diagnosis, speech, occupational therapy, and more.

Dajana Buonaguidi, MA, BCBA — Founder, South Bay Behavioral Psychology

Dajana Buonaguidi,
MA, BCBA

Dajana earned her degree in psychology from California State University, Long Beach and has been practicing Applied Behavior Analysis since 2005. Her approach is naturalistic and deeply practical — built to work in real homes, real classrooms, and real communities.

Over two decades, she has worked with children and adults across a wide range of diagnoses: Autism, ADHD, developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioral and emotional challenges. She has consulted with parents and caregivers in home and community settings, and brings extensive school district experience — including staff training, classroom support, behavior intervention plans, and IEP goal development.

Dajana has also served as clinical lead in an Intensive Outpatient Program within a multidisciplinary team, supporting children with complex mental health needs. Her breadth of experience means she's equipped for situations others may find difficult to navigate.
