We offer a variety of psychiatric, psychological and behavioral therapies. All of our programs are individualized and generally fall into individual, family, parent education, and group treatment. The clinic emphasizes use of short-term, problem-focused, and evidence-based interventions. Treatment with youth involves the active participation of parents, other family members, caregivers, educators, and others, as appropriate. Emphasis is placed on measurable success in attaining clinical goals, as defined through a collaborative process between you and the clinicians.
Our team emphasizes treatment and support to:
- Reduce Challenging Behavior often associated with autism, such as rigidity, disruptive behaviors (screaming, repetitive speech), and noncompliance (not following directions, unable to stop an activity).
- Build Social Communication and Play Skills in young children with ASD using a naturalistic behavioral approach
- Improve Adaptive Skills to promote independent living and increase quality of life. Skills addressed are based on individual needs. Adaptive skills may include: Toileting, dressing, hand washing, teeth brushing, completing chores, improving homework habits, and interview skills.
- Manage Emotional/Attention Concerns (e.g., Anxiety, Depression, ADHD) to address issues such as low self-esteem, worries, fears, sadness, inattention, or understanding the diagnosis.
The therapy models that are used in our center are evidence-based. These treatments include:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (Project ImPACT, Pivotal Response Treatment, Early Start Denver Model)
- Structured Teaching (TEACCH)
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
Please note that an initial in-person appointment will be required to gather background information, medical history, current services, educational services, and overall treatment needs. After our meeting, we will determine how services can best be provided to you.
