Brian Peña

Brian Peña, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and clinical director of Love Forward ABA, a telehealth practice for Colorado families that he co-founded with Amber Moore, M.S., BCBA. He believes every learner deserves patience, creativity, and care, and every family deserves to feel confident and supported. Brian speaks Spanish and is especially passionate about early intervention, family collaboration, and supporting Spanish-speaking and first-generation families starting ABA.

Brian found ABA in 2014 while seeking a career that connected his psychology background with his passion for education, and quickly fell in love with discovering what motivates each learner and finding creative ways to teach to their strengths and interests. He holds a bachelor's in Psychology and a Master of Education, with an emphasis in Educational Technology, from California State University, Fullerton, and completed his ABA coursework through UMass Global.

Much of his clinical focus is early intervention with children ages 2 to 8, and he enjoys working closely with caregivers and building systems for consistent, compassionate, high-quality ABA care. A Los Angeles native raised in Long Beach, Brian moved with his wife to California's Central Valley in 2021, where they enjoy mountain views with their Australian Shepherd, Ranger.
