About Heather

Hi, I’m Heather! I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Certified Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) Therapist, and the founder of Balanced Behavioral Services. I created Balanced Behavioral to provide families with high-quality, individualized support that feels collaborative, compassionate, and truly child-centered.

I specialize in early childhood development and play-based intervention, helping young children build communication, social, and independence skills through meaningful everyday interactions. As both a clinician and a mom to neurodiverse children, I understand the unique challenges families can face and strive to create a supportive environment where families feel understood and empowered.

I value building genuine relationships with the children and families I work with and believe therapy should feel engaging, flexible, and meaningful. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to support children and families during such important stages of growth and development.

Hi there! I'm Jess Marchetti, a BCBA with over 15+ years of experience working in ABA with early learners. Supporting children and their families is truly my passion, and I feel so lucky to do work that helps others grow, connect, and thrive each day.

I call De Pere, Wisconsin home, where I live with my amazing husband Tyler, our two wonderful kids, Callan and Sutton, and our lovable pets - Walter the dog and Lulu the cat, who definitely keep life fun and full of energy! Outside of work, I love getting lost in a good book, exploring the outdoors on a hike, or winding down with a cozy Netflix night. I value little moments, lots of laughter, and making meaningful memories with my family. I can't wait for the opportunity to support your child in reaching their fullest potential and truly shining their light!
