Master’s Level psychologist & Board certified Behavior analyst

Farmington Hills & Virtual

Hi, I’m Rayan Naaman!


I’m a master’s level psychologist, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and a Licensed Behavior Analyst, but more than anything, I’m someone who believes deeply in the power of growth and connection. I see each person I work with as the expert of their own story. I work hard to walk alongside them, offering tools, compassion, and guidance as they discover what helps them thrive.

For the past several years, I’ve had the joy of working closely with toddlers and preschoolers, helping little ones find their voice, guiding them to make sense of their big feelings, and build the skills that lets them explore their worlds with confidence. My experience has taken me into both classrooms and therapy offices, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting children and teens of all ages with autism, ADHD, anxiety, anger issues, and communication difficulties. I have extensive experience in helping children not only resolve issues, but even gain confidence, around daily tasks, such as bed time, eating, toileting, home-work completion, oral hygiene, and self-care. I have supported kids who communicated through AAC with communication, identifying and expressing emotions, and building better coping skills. I love celebrating each child’s unique strengths and finding creative, everyday ways to help families feel more connected and supported.

Whether I’m helping a child or teen communicate, navigate sensory challenges, or take pride in small steps forward, I approach every session with warmth, patience, and respect. I believe growth happens when people feel safe, understood, and valued, and that’s the kind of space I strive to create for every family I meet.

My work blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with a humanistic, person-centered approach. I love incorporating art, play, executive-function coaching, and parent support to help my clients better meet their goals. I always focus on fostering confidence, emotional well-being, and meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for each person.
