Leading with Vision, Serving with Purpose

Dr. Corey Cohrs has dedicated his career to supporting individuals with autism and behavioral challenges. He began his work in behavior analysis in 2009 after earning a degree in psychology from the University of South Florida. His early career focused on providing behavioral therapy to children and adults with intellectual disabilities and autism, building a strong foundation in evidence-based practices.

In 2010, Corey earned his BCaBA certification and joined a foster care agency, where he trained prospective foster parents and consulted on the needs of children in their care. During this time, he pursued a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at the University of South Florida, with a focus on improving outcomes for children with autism.

Driven by his passion for helping families, Corey expanded his expertise by studying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), aiming to provide direction and support to parents of children with autism and behavioral challenges. He gained valuable experience working in diverse settings with individuals from various backgrounds.

After obtaining his BCBA certification in 2012, Corey relocated to Omaha, Nebraska, to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Munroe-Meyer Institute. His doctoral research emphasized behavioral pediatric psychology and included advanced treatment approaches for autism, such as cognitive behavior therapy and interventions for developmental delays.

From 2017 to 2020, Corey furthered his professional expertise by studying business at the University of Nebraska Omaha, equipping him with leadership and organizational skills to better serve families and manage clinical operations.

As Chief Executive Officer at Radical Minds, Dr. Cohrs combines his expertise and passion to empower children with autism and their families. His goal is to foster meaningful growth and help individuals in the Omaha community achieve their full potential.
