"Do you know an adult, teen or child on the autism spectrum who struggles with social interaction? Do they experience anxiety, frustration or depressive symptoms during social interactions? As a social worker with eight years of experience with the autism population, I often encounter parents of individuals on the spectrum who say, "my child does not have any friends," or "my child does not know how to make friends." To address this overwhelming need, I am now offering a social skills group for adults, teens and children of all abilities. We now have an adult and adolescent social skills group that meets weekly. Our adult group meets every Friday at 7:00pm and our adolescent group meets every Saturday at 3:00pm. The social skills group is a safe and friendly environment that welcomes individuals of all abilities. As adults and teens learn social skills, they also develop meaningful friendships with group members. "

"I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist, specializing in treating children, adolescents, and families using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in homes, schools and the community. CBT treatment is highly recommended for anxiety, impulse, and conduct disorders. While it is well-established that CBT within real-world settings significantly improves functioning compared to office-based treatment, few professionals accept the challenge! As a professional with 20 years of experience traveling to families throughout Long Island, I understand that intense emotions, troubled relationships and significant avoidance cannot simply be discussed away in therapy, but mindfully experienced and addressed when and where they occur."

"Treatment begins in a relaxed setting within the context of a comfortable and safe relationship. Although past history and experiences certainly can play a role in contemporary problems, treatment starts in an active and directive way to help relieve the symptoms or distress that motivates treatment in the first place. This includes learning specific techniques and strategies to better manage symptoms and improve ones ability to function freely."
