Hi! I'm Matt Lowry. I'm the last remaining person in the state who's both qualified to assess for autism, and actually Autistic, myself! I specialize in assessing for autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I can see anyone ages two years old through late adulthood! I also do Autistic Centered Therapy with clients. Most people see autism as something to be "fixed," but I see it as a way of life to be understood. I help people build systems and routines to work WITH their brains and bodies instead of against them.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, capable individuals who carry a lot of responsibility. On the outside, they seem to have it together—but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in overthinking. They want real, lasting change. I offer a supportive space to gain clarity and feel more grounded. Using EMDR, hypnosis, and subconscious-focused approaches, we connect current thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs to past experiences—creating deeper clarity, shifting patterns, and helping you move forward with greater confidence, balance, and ease.

What are the behavioral signs indicating a toddler might need counseling?
Common behavioral signs that a child may need counseling include high levels of emotional distress or anxiety, learning challenges, interpersonal conflict, anger, or social withdrawal. Any drastic changes in toddler behavior or self-esteem can be indicative that a child may benefit from therapy. Seeing a therapist at the early stages of any behavioral changes can be most impactful on behavior, as well as helpful to caregivers who may receive guidance on what symptoms to look for in their child in the future, even if therapy is not warranted at that time.
Can a two-year-old see a psychologist?
Children and adults of all ages can see psychologists and other forms of mental health professionals, such as counselors, psychiatrists, and social workers. Families seeking therapy for their toddler should just be aware that any guidance they seek should come from a professional who has specific experience working with young children, as well as the specific modalities that are appropriate for young children, such as play therapy.
What is the most effective type of therapy for toddlers and preschoolers?
In general, play therapy is the most effective and common form of therapy for young children. Play therapy helps facilitate behavior change by offering an age-appropriate way for children to express their emotions and develop more effective coping strategies. Toddlers with specific concerns may benefit from more specialized forms of therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for toddlers in families in which there is significant parent-child relational conflict.
What happens during therapy sessions for toddlers?
What occurs in therapy sessions for toddlers depends on the therapeutic approach being used by the therapist. Most toddler therapists will use some form of play therapy in sessions to encourage toddler engagement. In play therapy sessions, children are encouraged to use toys within the therapy setting to express their emotions; subsequent responses by the therapist and/or family members can help guide toddler behavior and behavior change. Toddler therapy sessions can also involve family therapy or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which can help improve parenting behaviors and reduce strain on families.
