Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in 02474

For many of my clients, they have spent a long time wondering if they are neurodivergent (including autistic or having ADHD) but finding an adult-focused provider is a challenge. My approach is to understand your questions, goals, and challenges, and to develop strategies both for you and for the environments you are in to best fit your needs. Having a diagnosis can be a great step toward understanding yourself more intimately and can open doors to wonderful community.

Did life throw a wrench in your plans? Are you about to feel the overwhelm that accompanies a big change in events? Are you feeling frustrated from being stuck in a self-defeating pattern? Change is scary and life can be difficult, but you deserve the autonomy and decision making skills that lead to a fulfilling life.

My ideal client is an adult who is facing challenges associated with depression, anxiety, life changes, and life stages. My client seeks to find joy in life and expand tools to meet the day's challenges. Another ideal client would be the neuroatypical person seeking to understand how to navigate a world they struggle to understand. This could include those on the autism spectrum or ADHD. Another ideal client would be seniors seeking to navigate the challenges of aging, including loss of jobs through retirement, changing health, or any other issue.

My ideal client has either experienced a past trauma and/or is dealing with anxiety or depression. This client can be someone diagnosed with ASD, as I enjoy working with neurodiverse populations. This client should want guidance and support to develop emotional regulation skills, build positive relationships with others, or process their emotional experiences. I can help support those going through various life transitions, as well as help people develop self-awareness and understanding.

If I were to imagine an ideal client, it would be someone who wants to change no matter what their needs are. It would also be someone who is open to new and innovative treatment modalities. It is also beneficial to have someone who is not hindered in what they discuss. Everything is important.
