Veronica Smith is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Licensed Behavior Analyst in NV, with a Master of Education and the founder of Therapy Colab. She is also the founder of Autism & Behavioral Consulting Services, the first clinic in Southern Nevada to earn accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ). As one of the first Spanish speaking behavior analysts in Nevada, and one of the first providers in the state to accept Medicaid for these services, she has long worked to expand access to quality care for the families who need it most. She serves families in both English and Spanish, and is a member of the Nevada Association for Behavior Analysis, where she has held a board leadership role, and of the Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP), among other professional organizations dedicated to advancing the field.
Veronica's career began nearly three decades ago in a military child care program serving children of all abilities, where she worked alongside therapeutic teams, an experience that shaped her belief in collaborative care long before she became a behavior analyst. Veronica has called Las Vegas home since 2000, when her husband's Air Force career brought the family to Nellis Air Force Base following a three year tour in Aviano, Italy. Over 29 years in the therapy community and 13 years as a business owner, she has seen firsthand how hard it can be for independent clinicians to find professional space that fits the way they actually work. She built her own practice from the ground up, and she created Therapy Colab to give other providers the warm, fully equipped, flexible environment she wished existed when she was starting out.
Her vision is simple: remove the overhead, the long leases, and the isolation, so therapists, behavior analysts, and allied health providers can focus on what matters most, their clients. An active member of the Latin Chamber of Commerce and a proud mother of two daughters and grandmother to one grandson, Veronica is deeply rooted in the Las Vegas community. Therapy Colab brings together everything she values as a clinician and an owner: professionalism, community, and room to grow.
