Areas of consultation

Integrated behavioral health in pediatric primary care

Designing and staffing behavioral health inside a pediatric medical home: screening and triage, brief intervention models, same-day access, documentation, and the communication loops that keep the pediatrician and the psychologist working from the same picture.

School behavior support and special education practice

Functional Behavioral Assessment quality, Behavior Intervention Plan design that classroom staff can actually run, eligibility decision-making, and evaluation practice for ADHD, learning disorders, and autism.

Program development and staff training

Training for teams on evidence-based child and adolescent practice — CBT and ACT with youth, behavioral parent training, executive-functioning intervention, and strengths-based, prevention-oriented approaches drawn from positive psychology.

Background

Dr. Bush holds a PhD in Educational and School Psychology from the University of Washington and is licensed in Oregon (License 2154) and Washington (License PY61540899). He has worked as a school psychologist across multiple districts and as a staff psychologist in integrated pediatric primary care, which is an unusual combination — it means consultation is grounded in how both systems actually operate rather than in theory about either.
