INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders face a social world in which rules and expectations appear to be clear to everyone but themselves. Evidenced-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are modified to best address the anxiety and depression that commonly occur with ASD. We also combine and use various methods, such as Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), cognitive strategies, communication, adaptive living, and social skills training, to effectively improve academic, social, and occupational functioning and overall quality of life.  Again, we serve clientele with or without autism spectrum disorders.​

Our focused treatment provided typically once weekly on an outpatient basis to target areas such as co-occurring anxiety, depression, social skills, behavioral flexibility, and other concerning behaviors. A family-based model of treatment is emphasized along with behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
