Autism Therapists in Arizona

Do you feel distant from others and yourself? Do you put yourself last? Should life become better? Happier? People are more anxious, overwhelmed, and confused about maintaining relationships, jobs, and lifestyles than ever. Not taking the time and ignoring your needs can lead to long-term health problems. Healthy living shouldn't be hard. I empower clients to use cultural and spiritual resources for growth, support, and healing in my holistic treatment. I invite clients to explore unique and shared cultural values to enrich and enhance life and create hope for future wellness.

Welcome! I'm Kayla Block, owner of Spectrum of Growth Counseling. I love working with adults struggling with understanding their neurodivergent identity. Whether you identify as "on the spectrum" or "neuro-spicy", I love helping clients connect with themselves on a deeper level. I also enjoy working with adults struggling with symptoms related to trauma and dissociation. I find that combining EMDR and IFS parts work can be extremely helpful in getting to "deeper" issues that talk therapy may not adequately address.

Dr. Debra Davis utilizes evidence-based diagnostic and treatment practices and specializes in psycho-educational evaluations; learning disabilities; functional behavior assessments; applied behavior analysis; cognitive behavior and behavior therapy; parent consultation and training; teacher consultation; ADHD; autism; developmental disabilities; and parenting of children experiencing chronic illness or divorce.

Through my 15 years of being a foster/adopt parent, I have experienced how trauma, attachment, anxiety, learning disorders, Autism, ADHD, and mood disorders, affect daily functioning and the ability to enjoy life. I have come to appreciate how important it is to feel a sense of safety and belonging. We are biologically wired to need connections/relationships for optimal growth and development. However, negative life experiences, the inability to self-regulate our emotions, and or other mental health concerns, can negatively affect the way we interact with others, causing difficulties in building those positive relationships we need.

At Thriving Minds Academy, I've made it my mission to create a nurturing environment for children with autism, paying keen attention to their unique social, sensory, and academic challenges. I hold the belief that every child deserves a tailored education and therapy experience that fosters growth, independence, and confidence. With specialized education and personalized ABA services, I empower your child to excel academically, develop vital social skills, and successfully navigate sensory sensitivities.

Hi! My name is Shelby Rouse, LPC, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I am currently accepting new clients. I have experience with children and play therapy. I am also EMDR trained and trauma informed. I have experience in the behavioral health field and specialized in Applied Behavior Analytics with children, adolescents, and young adults on the Autism Spectrum. A solid therapeutic alliance is one of the most important factors in counseling and with the art of listening and collaboratively designing your treatment plan, I look forward to to building one with you.

I find great joy in helping clients who vary in presentation from anxiety to suicidal ideation to trauma. I work with young adults and teens who may be experiencing difficulty with perfectionism, developing relationships, family dynamics, identity development and various other difficulties. Helping clients reveal and create an identity that feels authentic to them is especially important to me. I firmly believe that people know themselves best; they just need the right environment to encourage this. Connection and acceptance along with gentle challenging is key to my approach with clients.

Life can sometimes throw us unanticipated challenges that are difficult to handle. Deciding to seek help through counseling is a sign of strength and courage and can lead to the support and tools needed to work through difficult issues, make positive life changes, and move toward a brighter future. Attending therapy can be intimidating and stressful, especially when trying to figure out next steps. S.E.E.K. Arizona’s counseling services are here to support you on your journey to recovery and wellness, wherever you may be on that journey. The clinical team will work with you from day one, to build rapport and tailor an approach to help you become the best version of yourself.

Arizona values communication and team involvement above all.

We are here to empower children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families with effective supports to communicate effectively and learn the necessary social and emotional components. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to real situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. Positive reinforcement is one of the main strategies used in ABA.

Note: I am a behavior analyst and practice ABA. I am not a professional counselor and am not a diagnostician. I am a firm believer that autism is a distinct neurotype and that neurodivergence is not a condition to be cured or an autistic person radically changed. Instead, I believe that autistic people can be supported in learning skills that can improve their quality of life in a nurturing and collaborative teaching environment that builds on their strengths and interests. I am not qualified to diagnose autism. I am not a counselor or a psychologist. I specifically focus on skill building and problem behavior reduction through ABA.

I welcome all those needing support to feel connected, empowered and confident to meet life's challenges. Shift from reactivity to response. I help individuals, regardless of their ability to name their pain, to focus on taking care of themselves to recover from relational distress, loss & burnout. In our time together, we will work on restoring the trust, confidence and sense of self often depleted as a result of relational trauma and life experiences. I specialize in treating complex and attachment related trauma, ADHD as well as autism, from a relational and developmentally based perspective using EMDR, IPSRT and EFT.

I am an independent board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) that specializes in using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children, teens, or adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental disabilities. I create person centered goals to help clients reach their developmental milestones. I also demonstrate how to improve communication, daily living (e.g. getting dressed), coping, safety (e.g. crossing the street), social, play, and reduce challenging behaviors (e.g. tantrums and aggression). I am currently accepting new clients who need intensive 1:1 ABA in-home and group home settings.
