Nicole Abeyta, Owner/Director

Nicole Abeyta

Owner/Director
n.abeyta@lunavistabhs.org

Hello! I'm Nicole Abeyta, the proud founder and Owner of Luna Vista Behavioral Health Services. I earned my Master of Business Administration (MBA) and have spent more than 15 years serving my community through leadership, education, finance, human resources, and organizational management. My passion has always been building programs and creating opportunities that make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. While I founded Luna Vista, its heart was inspired by my family. Growing up, I was surrounded by strong, compassionate women — my Mom, Aunt, and Sister — who have always dedicated themselves to helping others. Their kindness, selflessness, and commitment to serving our community inspired me to create an organization where children and families feel supported, valued, and empowered. Family is at the center of everything I do. As a mother of three, I understand how important it is to create lasting memories and cherish the time we have together. Those experiences have shaped my belief that every child deserves the opportunity to grow, succeed, and feel supported both at home and in their community. That belief is the foundation of Luna Vista's mission. At Luna Vista, I am committed to fostering a culture of compassion, integrity, and excellence. I believe that meaningful relationships, collaboration, and individualized care create lasting change. It is an honor to work alongside an incredible team that shares the same passion for helping children and families thrive, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the community that has given so much to me. I look forward to continuing Luna Vista's mission of empowering youth, supporting families, and creating brighter futures; one child, one family, and one connection at a time.
