Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With a specialty in working with adults with Asperger's Syndrome , I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help my clients learn to cope with the symptoms of depression and anxiety that often accompany Asperger's. I also work with individuals of all ages seeking to increase their daily living skills. Additionally, I am available to work with parents who are struggling with their child's challenging behaviors.

I work collaboratively with clients, finding the next best step for them to take to handle challenges and roadblocks in life. I get great satisfaction watching my clients improve their life through short or long-term therapy. I help children and adolescents reach their academic/social potential with the parents' support. I advocate for students with navigation of EiP’s/504’s and RTI. Other areas of expertise include grief/loss, stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship issues for children, teens and adults. I teach social skills to those dealing with Asperger's Syndrome and work with youth at risk for sexual exploitation.

Having anxiety is really difficult. Trouble focusing at work makes it even worse. Maybe pressure, boredom and worry leave you feeling ashamed and guilty, and you don't know why. You might get impatient, impulsive or just plain overwhelmed. But there's hope. You CAN regain that fearless, creative mindset you used to have. You can point your life's energy back toward the good and important things in your life. You can learn to roll with the punches life throws, to laugh at life's absurdity, and then take back control.
