About Amanda Bissonnette

Amanda Bissonnette is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with nearly 14 years of experience across a variety of settings, including residential treatment, early intervention, school-based instruction and consultation, and services for individuals with multiple and severe disabilities. She currently serves as an Area Director of Clinical Services on Centria’s DeNovo team, where she focuses on building sustainable systems of care and developing resilient, high-performing clinical teams.

Her career began as a paraprofessional in a high school setting and has evolved through roles such as behavior tutor, RBT, training director, special education teacher, IEP consultant and parent advocate, clinical and regional director, mentorship advisor, and organizational systems consultant. This diverse experience informs her systems-level approach to designing scalable systems interventions, ensuring clinical and center-based performance and stabilization, and supporting long-term organizational success. Her areas of expertise include case conceptualization and consultation, psychometrics, adult-learner development, systems analysis, recruitment and retention strategies, and clinical work with individuals with complex comorbidities.

Amanda is especially passionate about training and mentorship. She creates individualized, experience-based learning programs for adult learners and coaches leadership teams to cultivate psychologically safe, collaborative work environments. Her work is grounded in data-informed decision-making, progressive supervision, and a strong commitment to ethical, person-centered care.

Outside of work, Amanda enjoys film, hockey, the outdoors, live music, and exploring new places with her husband—especially when paired with a great cup of coffee or a bold, dry, high-viscosity wine.
