Tommy Parry, M.S., M.Ed., LMHC, LPC, LBA, BCBA
Tommy Parry is a licensed mental health counselor and board-certified behavior analyst who specializes in helping individuals and families build meaningful, sustainable lives—even in the presence of anxiety, stress, trauma, and complex behavioral challenges. His work sits at the intersection of behavior science and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), offering a practical, compassionate, and deeply individualized approach to change.
Tommy is the founder of Parry Behavioral Consulting, where he works with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating autism, anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and chronic health-related stress. He has particular expertise in supporting parents of children with special needs, as well as individuals seeking to move beyond cycles of avoidance, burnout, or emotional overwhelm.
What sets Tommy’s work apart is his integration of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with modern contextual behavioral science, including ACT and Focused ACT (FACT). Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, his approach emphasizes helping clients build lives that feel purposeful, flexible, and aligned with what matters most to them. This includes developing psychological flexibility, strengthening adaptive behavior patterns, and reducing the struggle with difficult internal experiences.
In addition to his clinical work, Tommy is an organizational consultant and trainer, delivering workshops and presentations on ACT, behavioral science, and workplace well-being. He has provided training to clinical teams, healthcare systems, and behavioral health organizations, with a focus on reducing burnout and increasing effectiveness through evidence-based strategies.
Tommy has collaborated on research with the Indiana University Department of Psychology and the Regenstrief Institute, contributing to the advancement of behavioral and psychological science in applied settings. His professional background includes work in both public and private sectors, including healthcare systems and behavioral consulting organizations, where he has supported individuals with complex needs and trained multidisciplinary teams.
Tommy’s work is grounded in a simple but powerful idea:
You don’t have to wait for your thoughts and feelings to change before you start building a better life.
Whether working with individuals, families, or organizations, his goal is to help people move from feeling stuck to taking meaningful, values-driven action—one step at a time.
