Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in West Boylston, MA

Our group practice, Prosper Health, focuses exclusively on autistic adults. I have unique experience with autism, being someone who has studied the subject at Boston University (Doctorate in Education and Master's in Social Work), having experience working with such clients for 12 years, and having raised a son with autism (many years as a single parent).

I have been working with the autistic and neurodivergent community for over 10 years. I have found that my own personal identification of being autistic and having a 20 year old child with autism has made working with other autistic individuals successful and rewarding. I pride myself on my creativity and ability to meet a client where they are at and find new ways to help clients reach their goals.

At LIKEMIND Mental Health & Wellness, Inc. we understand that young adults today are facing challenges unique to their generation and their stage in life. That is why it is essential that they have access to services designed specifically to address and manage these challenges. The transitional milestones of young adulthood are very different than those of childhood or of adulthood. The services provided at LIKEMIND acknowledge these differences.

Change is good, but change is also hard! In my experience, therapy is about working with individuals to help them reach their life goals, despite obstacles and maximize their potential. Despite the hard work involved, my mission is for therapy to be a positive experience. Simply stated, it should be a collaborative effort based on problem solving, support and the exchange of ideas. Additionally, treatment needs to be developed in the context of a person's life experiences and history. My hope is as treatment progresses individuals can move forward with what they have learned to independently facilitate future change.

I believe that every person has their own strengths and weaknesses. My job is help individuals understand these strengths, that will in turn help them reach their potential.
