At Tongue & Groove, we pride ourselves on our expertise and authenticity, which are the cornerstones of our client relationships. Our clients choose us for our deep knowledge of evidence-based practices; they stay with us because of our unwavering commitment to shared responsibility and growth.
We are pioneering the concordance and values framework in Lifestyle Behavior Analysis and global human factors; our comprehensive and holistic approach ensures that we prioritize quality of life as an outcome.
The name Tongue & Groove, inspired by the woodworking technique, symbolizes our approach. Just as in construction, where pieces fit together seamlessly to create a strong structure, our framework interlocks collaboration with strengths and personal values to build the solid foundation needed for quality human services.
We're dedicated to working alongside you, providing a suite of novel services that cultivate positive cultures and empower self-efficacy. Together, we'll foster collaboration, lay the foundation for strength and values-based goal development, and drive meaningful progress.
The Tongue & Groove framework, a collaborative approach to support, holds us all accountable as we strive to live into our values by empowering self-determination in each other. We foster healthy interdependence grounded in trust, compassion, and mutual respect, motivating individuals, teams, families, and organizations to make informed decisions that result in improved outcomes and quality of life.
Tongue & Groove is more than a practice; it's a commitment to lifelong learning, kindness, and gratitude. The Tongue & Groove framework embodies the idea of things fitting together seamlessly and strongly, a philosophy and approach that is echoed in all aspects of the services we offer.
Inspired by Sarah's personal life experience as a human recovering from complex post traumatic stress disorder & child-hood trauma, our mission is simple- we aim to connect, meaningfully.
In a culture that demands relentless productivity and strict conformity, we choose to cultivate a slower rhythm, prioritizing thoughtful progress over speed and genuine alignment over mere obedience.
We are deeply convinced that positive change is possible when individuals feel truly supported with compassion. Reflecting on Sharon Salzberg's powerful words, "Someone who has experienced trauma also has gifts to offer all of us – in their depth, their knowledge of our universal vulnerability, and their experience of the power of compassion," We are here to connect with that resilience and facilitate positive change that is rooted in our understanding of the human experience.

Tongue & Groove utilizes Lifestyle Behavior Analysis, a powerful application of behavioral principles designed to help individuals, teams, families, and organizations achieve their specific goals and cultivate enhanced well-being. Recognizing that well-being extends beyond the absence of specific challenges, this approach moves beyond the scope of traditional ABA to address the broader landscape of daily life.
We consider the whole person, ensuring that our services address not only behaviors but also the environmental and emotional factors that influence them. We work collaboratively with you – whether you are seeking personal growth, improved team dynamics, stronger family relationships, or enhanced organizational performance – to identify your unique goals, understand the factors impacting current patterns, and develop tailored, science-based strategies for lasting positive change in areas such as organization, health, communication, productivity, and team synergy.
What sets Tongue & Groove apart is our commitment to providing uniquely accessible resources, crafted with expertise and designed for ease of use. Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Sarah Trowbridge, personally develops custom curriculums and programs, offering ongoing individualized development, targeted training, and clear visual aids. We are also streamlining access to these resources through the upcoming Tongue & Groove App, ensuring all necessary tools are readily available to our clients.
