Comprehensive Autism Support
Tailored Therapeutic Approaches:
Our Therapists specializing in autism support provide a range of evidence-based and individualized therapies to help individuals on the autism spectrum thrive in their unique ways. Our therapies aim to develop communication skills, emotional resilience, social understanding, and self-regulation in a supportive and affirming environment.
Key approaches include:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): ABA uses structured, positive reinforcement techniques to help build essential skills and reduce challenging behaviors. Therapists focus on improving functional communication, social interactions, and adaptive skills that enhance day-to-day life.
Play Therapy: Play therapy engages children through play, creating a natural, enjoyable setting for self-expression and learning. This approach helps individuals with autism explore emotions, develop social skills, and practice new behaviors in a low-pressure environment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is an effective tool for helping individuals on the spectrum manage anxiety, rigid thinking, and emotional challenges. Through CBT, therapists teach coping strategies and help clients reframe unhelpful thought patterns to enhance flexibility and emotional well-being.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT offers valuable skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. For individuals with autism, DBT emphasizes skills like emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance, supporting them in navigating complex social and emotional landscapes.
Social Skills Training: Through structured activities and role-playing, therapists help clients build and practice social communication skills. This training can increase comfort and confidence in various social settings, improving relationships and independence.
Our therapies, tailored to each individual’s needs, support growth in communication, social, and emotional skills, enabling individuals with autism to flourish in ways that feel authentic and empowering to them.

Creating Inclusive Spaces
Consultation Services
In environments where neurodivergent individuals – including those with ADHD and autism – live, work, and learn, small changes can make a big difference. For families, workplaces, and schools, adapting physical spaces and routines to better support neurodivergent members can lead to a more inclusive, productive, and comfortable environment for everyone involved.
