AUTISTIC WOMEN

SHE ROCKS THE SPECTRUM


We have found that autistic girls and young women desperately need autistic-aware therapy.


If this is you, please consider visiting our partner site, She Rocks the Spectrum, a therapy center for autistic girls and young women.


HOW WE CAN HELP


Although our support is always uniquely crafted to your personal needs, the work often ends up with some combination of the following:


  • Understanding the strengths and challenges of your differences 

  • Consideration of a formal diagnosis 

  • Building a life centered on healing and self-acceptance (freedom from shame) 

  • Making peace with your past 

  • Finding and practicing of constructive patterns of communication 

  • Building a plan for reducing social anxiety 

  • Discovering emotions and how they can be helpful 

  • Managing sensory stimulation 

  • Understanding and building relationships 

  • Exploring sexuality in light of your differences 

  • Understanding the impact of your differences on professional, relational, and life goals 

  • Support for related issues such as depression, ADHD, overwork, anxiety, and addiction 

  • How to support other neurodiverse girls and women

There are many benefits of focused therapy for neurodiverse women but, perhaps the most important, is to provide a safe and non-judgmental place to discuss your experiences. We look forward to hearing from you.
