Ashley directs our Hochheim and Stuttgart clinics as well as oversees all occupational therapy services. Ashley is a native New Yorker, but grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. After several years of working with children in a multidisciplinary setting as an occupational therapist and seeing the gains her clients made when they received ABA services, Ashley felt called to return to school and pursue certification as a behavior analyst. During this time, Ashley developed a passion for bridging the gap between what she read in research journals and what practitioners could feasibly do within their clinics. She is particularly interested in interventions that facilitate generative language and derived relational responding in children with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities and has had her work published in multiple behavior analytic journals. Ashley is currently working on her dissertation as a doctoral candidate in the Educational Psychology program at Georgia State University.

She went on to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), with a particular focus on addressing the unmet needs of adolescents and adults on the autism spectrum, especially those with co-occurring diagnoses.

Leif’s professional journey spans from a year-long voluntary work at a therapy center for children with motor delays and physical challenges, IT security consulting and business leadership. He spent 10 years working in the banking sector as a free-lance business analyst until he was gradually (gently and sometimes not so gently) guided into our company by the loving influence of his wife, Veneta. Here, he started helping out with the IT department, later moving into office management, and finally stepping into his current position as a CEO. Leif developed for Ausblick a custom-made internal tracking IT system which helps with the quality assurance, audits and financial aspects of the company, allowing the clinical team to focus on what is truly important for them – teaching.
Leif’s deep interest in mental and physical health topics led him to believe that health is a communal and holistic endeavour that encompasses all aspects of life. Simultaneously, he developed a vigilant eye for the upheavals and major challenges of our time. He views these through the lenses of contemporary spirituality, philosophy, as well as science and systems theory. In his current role, Leif tries to integrate these frames of reference into his practice and attempts to incorporate his understanding of health and the observation of current time trends into the company’s mission and management.
His major task these days is finding ways to create a company with locked assets where profit-for-purpose replaces business for profit.

With over four years of experience in the field of behavior analysis, Michael has worked across a variety of settings, including clinics, homes, schools, and community environments, serving clients aged 2-21 with diverse needs.

His professional approach is grounded in humility and respect, believing that every person has the potential to succeed. Michael views his role as fostering a supportive environment where clients can navigate their own personal journeys, always placing the client in the driver’s seat.
Before joining Ausblick, Michael built a behavior analysis position from the ground up in a rural school district in Colorado, USA.

At Ausblick Therapie, Michael is excited to continue his work with clients and their families, aiming to cultivate skills that promote psychological flexibility and a values-driven life. He is also eager to learn from his colleagues and grow as a practitioner in this dynamic field.

Sep was born and raised in Iran. At 16 years old she moved to the US, where she finished high school before going to UC Davis to study Neurobiology, Physiology & Behavior. After graduation in 2012, she embarked on a two year backpacking trip around the world. She visited 47 countries and experienced various cultures and languages first hand. She was also exposed to Argentine Tango and began dancing during that trip. In 2014 she returned to the US and began working with children on the autism spectrum as a Behavior Technician. In 2016 Sep moved to Argentina, to pursue her passion for Argentine Tango and to learn more about Latin culture and the Spanish language. In 2023, after more than 7 years in Argentina, she relocated to Germany. Sep really enjoys being around, and interacting with children. Over the years, she has not only worked in the ABA field as a behavior technician, but also has experience teaching languages (English and Spanish) and dance to children ranging from 3 to 18 years old.
Stephen hails from Ireland, and it is there that for many years he lived alongside the children, teenagers, and adults with disabilities with whom he worked as a carer. He found that the people he worked with grew and became happier when they experienced encouragement from carers who showed interest, compassion, and empathy for them. However, he eventually noticed that many of people he worked with also appeared to be “stuck.” Over the years, they did not significantly expand their activities, access to educational opportunities, social circles, or self-help skills. Indeed, they would even regress, like by engaging in self-harm behaviours. After researching therapies that offered to increase the self-help and social skills of people with disabilities, Stephen learned of a scientifically validated method proven successful with all types of individuals to improve all types of socially significant behaviour. In 2015, he returned to school to obtain a second master’s degree, this time in Applied Behaviour Analysis. As a trainee, Stephen introduced ABA-based strategies to a large residential centre in Ireland that had come under scrutiny for poor practices, cultivating a culture of Positive Behavioural Support. Since then, his practice has centered on consulting with German families with infants and children with autism.

Veneta Dimitrova is a behavior analyst in recovery who wrestles herself over the edges of what she knows, she thinks she knows, and she will never know. Two decades of direct work with survivors of domestic violence and human traffic, elementary schoolers, individuals with autism and their families, obliged her to begin unlearning things she learned in the ivy-league towers of objective truth.
She attempts to balance her competence with curiosity, her expertise with awe, her sharp-edges with parasympathetic calm. Her teachers include children who could conjure up a behavioral storm, mothers who have forgotten sleep, willow trees, love and grief. Since Veneta established Teaching Tree in 2014, the American US-Military families’ access to ABA services has increased by 1900%. She also helped the establishment of two independent providers of ABA in the area.
Veneta wonders what would the quality of her work be if she integrates science with heart and strives to model and evoke playful, curious and authentic responses to the world. Veneta finds intriguing the fact that indigenous cultures rarely have a word for disability. She strives to see the human beings behind the colonial, neoliberal or DSM-5 labels they have been given. She has many unanswered questions and is clumsy at showing compassion.
Instead of trying to fix problems or people, Veneta tries to develop new ways of understanding, shedding old futile patters of behaviors, and embracing more useful perspectives. Veneta is devoted to the type of learning that breaks her open, that threatens her rigid identity, and makes more room for otherness.
