Pinecrest is an affluent village in southeastern Miami-Dade County, incorporated in 1996 and consistently ranked among the most desirable places to live in South Florida. Known for its large single-family homes, tree-lined streets, and highly rated public schools, Pinecrest attracts families who prioritize educational excellence and community quality. The village is home to Pinecrest Gardens — a botanical garden and cultural arts center — and borders Coral Gables to the northwest and Palmetto Bay to the south. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout Pinecrest with the clinical rigor and individualized approach that Pinecrest families expect.
Pinecrest has a diverse and internationally oriented community alongside its established Anglo-American population.

Our clinical team provides all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish, ensuring that bilingual families receive the same quality of care in their preferred language throughout every stage of the program.
