A key component of supporting overall mental health is having the right team of people and support networks. Below you'll find a list of referrals and local autism resources. You can use the topic tabs to navigate directly to a section or scroll through the page to see all the information. Please reach out if you need more information or have a referral or resource you'd recommend!
Although I'm not able to offer assessments, I recognize how daunting the process can be and am happy to help however I can! You will find a number of providers listed below. If can't find one that focuses on what you need, please reach out to me so I can help!
Traditional therapy can be very beneficial, but sometimes additional help is needed in the form of medication. Since therapists are not able to prescribe medications, a psychiatrist or general physican should be consulted. Psychiatrists and therapists often work together to help individuals achieve their goals.
Parenting a child with autism comes with a steep learning curve. Children have so many needs and finding help is daunting and expensive! I've compiled a list of local autism resources based on my conversations with other parents. Please let me know if there are additional resources I can add or if you need something that is missing.
