Katelyn Morris
Owner/Director, Morris Behavior Coaching
Katelyn completed her undergraduate work in English Writing from Northern Michigan University, in her hometown of Marquette, MI. She then completed her Master of Education with a focus on Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis at the University of Washington in 2016, and became a BCBA in 2017. Her work experience since 2007 includes working with children and families, early childhood education, and family coaching and support across the country (in MI, NY, WY, WA, MN, and PA). After becoming a BCBA, Katelyn spent several years working with children ages 2-14 on the autism spectrum in clinic, home, school, and community settings in and around Seattle, as well as managed the clinical and business operations of a small company. Then, after a move to PA prompted a career change, Katelyn opened Morris Behavior Coaching in June 2022.
Katelyn and her family also spent several years as a licensed foster family in WA state and enjoyed the privilege of parenting a total of 14 children.
She is passionate about helping families find happiness, including individuals in their own goal planning and treatment, lifelong learning and growth, providing extremely ethical and compassionate services, and mentoring the next generation of ABA professionals to be effective, versatile, and happy.
Katelyn lives in northwest Pennsylvania with her husband, daughter, and pets. They enjoy the outdoors, playing with their animals, and traveling.

“My vision is to use the best parts of clinical and applied behavior analysis, acceptance and commitment therapy, and human experience to provide a unique service to clients. We discover client’s individual strengths, needs, goals, values, and behavior patterns and use this information to create a well-rounded, evidence-based plan of action. This approach means high-quality outcomes for all our clients and families.
I also use behavioral science to train, mentor, and support my staff and ABA professionals in a continuous effort to advance the field in an ethical and sustainable way. I believe the only way forward is to focus on supportive training and procedures in order to provide our clients with the best ABA service possible.”
