About BACF
Behavioral Associates of Central Florida, Inc. was founded in 2005 by Dr. Maria R. Ruiz after her providing over 25 years of psychological, behavioral, and consulting services to the Central Florida community. Dr. Ruiz created BACF to address the community's growing need in Central Florida for comprehensive behavioral health services through integrated psychological, mental health, family, and behavioral programs.
