Consultation for Therapists & Psychologists 

Are you struggling to make progress with your Asperger's and ASD clients ?

Working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum can be very different than traditional therapy. Adults, teens, and kids on the spectrum may be more concrete, more goal oriented, and less interested in developing that intuitive social connection that so many therapists strive for. At the same time, so many autistic individuals are dealing with intense problems, like depression, anxiety, social isolation, and marriage and career issues. Your clients deserve the best possible treatment. 

That's where I can help. I've spent over a decade working with special needs individuals of all ages, and I love my work! I've developed my own techniques for dealing with the abstract and confusing world of emotional and social issues in a way that makes logical sense to ASD individuals. I can help you understand your ASD clients, conceptualize a treatment plan and develop interventions that will help you and your clients speak the same language.

This understanding is especially important in couples work. So many couples balance one feeling oriented partner, (who probably loves therapy!) with a more thinking and goal oriented partner. You can learn to relate to both partners, and adapt your therapy techniques to support each of them.   

Consultations are available by phone, Skype, FaceTime, or in person. Email or call today to get started. We can do anything from a quick, inexpensive, 30 minute consultation to a full ongoing program. Whatever best suits your needs, so you can meet your client's needs.

Psychotherapy for Autism
If you're familiar with the work of Simon Baron-Cohen, you've heard of the ideas of empathizers, such as a therapist, perhaps, and systemizers, maybe an engineer. If you think of individuals on the autism spectrum as extreme systemizers, it's clear how the difficulty with therapy can come about. 

You can learn how to work in a way that really connects with your more concrete and goal oriented clients, whether they have an Asperger's or an ASD diagnosis or not. I work to help you make your own therapy more systemizing oriented. More concrete, more visual, even more mathematical if you want!
