Autism Spectrum Disorder

Co-occurring anxiety, ADHD and mood support for autistic clients.

Autistic children, teens and adults are frequently treated for everything except how they actually experience the world. Care here starts from respect for how you process, communicate and regulate — no attempt to make you appear more typical.

How care usually works

Visits are structured, predictable and written down. Medication targets the concerns that cause suffering — anxiety, sleep, attention, irritability — with slow titration and clear communication about what to expect.

What we focus on

  • Neurodiversity-affirming evaluation
  • Targeted medication for co-occurring conditions
  • Sensory and routine planning
  • Coordination with schools and caregivers
