Who We Help


We support autistic individuals across the lifespan, including:

• Teens navigating identity, friendships, stress, and transitions
• Adults seeking tools for emotional regulation, anxiety, burnout, or life transitions
• Parents & caregivers wanting guidance to support their child at home and school
• Families working to strengthen connection and communication

We Support We help individuals who are experiencing:
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdowns
• Emotional regulation difficulties

• Autistic burnout
• Social confusion or isolation
• Sensory challenges
• Executive functioning difficulties
• School, college, or workplace stress

What to Expect in Therapy

Our therapist will tailor sessions to each person’s developmental stage, sensory needs, and learning style.
Sessions may include:
• Play therapy (for children)
• Expressive arts and sandtray
• Skill-building for coping and regulation
• Emotional awareness and communication work
• Support for navigating transitions and routines
• Strengthening family connection and co-regulation
• Practical tools for home, school, work, and daily life

Our goal is to help each individual feel understood, supported, and equipped—not pressured to mask or change who they are. 

FAQs

Is this ABA therapy?

No. We are a non-ABA center. We provide mental health and behavioral therapy that focuses on emotional well-being, regulation, and connection.

What ages do you work with?
We serve children as young as 3, as well as teens and adults across the lifespan.

Do you offer parent support too?
Yes. We offer parent guidance sessions to equip caregivers with practical tools to support their child or teen at home. During these sessions, we help parents understand autism through a strengths-based lens, learn developmentally responsive parenting practices, and apply specific interventions that promote emotional regulation, connection, and smoother daily routines. Our goal is to empower you with skills you can confidently use beyond the therapy room.

Is therapy play-based?
For children, yes. Play is their language. For teens and adults, we use talk therapy, expressive therapies, and strength-based skill building.

Do you diagnose autism?
We can clarify mental health needs and provide therapy. For comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, we refer to autism assessment providers.
