Something is not quite right...you notice little things at first and then you get your child checked out because you just can't shake that parental feeling that something is wrong. And you hear the words... your child has Autism. Your world shatters...I know, I have been there not just once, but twice with my son and my daughter. In the Autism world there are acronyms like: SLP, OT, PT, OCD, ADHD,ODD & ABA. There are so many different therapies needed. It can be overwhelming for you, your family and your child. There is hope. There is life. Autism is a journey and we can help with your journey.
I am a certified Autism Specialist and AutPlay therapist. AutPlay Therapy is a combination of developmental & behavioral methods to work on emotional regulation abilities, social functioning & skill development and relationship development (connection). Secondary areas addressed are: anxiety reduction, sensory processing and behavior change.
Play therapy uses the therapeutic powers of play and can be combined with other treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) to ensure each client's needs are met. As a therapist, I utilize both modalities to tailor treatment plans for children and adults. Contact me and we can discuss the right plan for your mental health needs.
