Co-Founder / Executive Clinical Director
Pauline Tolentino Pablo is a trauma-aware behavior analyst, mother, wife, and advocate. Sha has over 15 years of ABA experience within the home, community, clinic, and school settings. She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology at California State University Northridge (CSUN) and obtained her master's degree and BCBA certification in 2013. Pauline has held positions as a behavior therapist, supervisor, clinical director, and clinical consultant. She is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Behavioral Health, a degree that focuses on issues that are impactful to today's healthcare systems such as, integrated health, population health, trauma-informed care, and medical literacy. As someone who has a younger sister diagnosed with cerebral palsy, she saw the value in ABA therapy for clients and their families. However, she recognized that there is a need for an integrative and person-centered approach to care for clients and their family. Pauline alongside Benjamin decided to form Symphony Behavioral Health, a family and clinician owned company that focuses on addressing gaps in care by providing quality services to our clients and quality support to our team members.
Co-Founder / CEO
Benjamin Pablo has worked within the healthcare field as a nurse and consultant for over 15 years. Providing direct patient care allowed him to work with patients with various health needs as well as behavioral needs due to their diagnosis including, developmental disabilities and various types of dementia. Through his clinical work, Benjamin developed an understanding on how to collaborate with family members and an interdisciplinary team in order to properly carry out treatment plans. As a nursing consultant, Benjamin was able to educate other nurses and facility staff regarding the most current and effective methods of treatment in their field. He also developed knowledge in state regulations, billing health insurance, and other administrative aspects related to healthcare. Benjamin's experience in healthcare and passion to help others is why he made the decision to collaborate with Pauline in forming Symphony Behavioral Health.
