Individual, in person or telehealth psychotherapy for ages 8 and up.

-All therapy begins with an intake appointment, during which information is obtained about your developmental history, family history, medical/mental health history, treatment history, and therapy goals.
-You may be asked if you would like other people to provide information about your history.
-At the end of the intake, we will discuss your goals, symptoms, and potential diagnoses.
-We will then collaboratively discuss treatment interventions/ recommendations and frequency of therapy.
-An intake appointment will feel very different from a therapy session, as most of the time will be spent collecting information about your life (which means being asked a lot of questions!).

Following an intake, the therapy sessions will address the symptoms/concerns identified in your intake using therapeutic interventions to promote increased understanding, insight, and coping.

The goal is to increase relief from distress and gain improvement in your overall functioning, to achieve the life you want to lead.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnostic Evaluation for ages 2 to 17.

As part of a comprehensive evaluation, you can expect the following:
- Caregivers will be asked to complete several surveys and an interview about their child.
- You will be asked for pediatric medical records, a copy of the child's IEP (if applicable), and any other psychological/cognitive evaluations (if applicable).
- Caregivers will be asked to provide consent to speak to the school counselor/school psychologist and teachers, as relevant.
- There will be direct observation of your child in your home (in person or by telehealth), engaging in a variety of activities that would be developmentally appropriate for their age.
- Data will then be interpreted and a report will be generated with the evaluation results and recommendations. You will receive a copy of this report for your records.
- We will have a 45-minute appointment to review the results together and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions (called a feedback session).

Biofeedback

Heart Rate variability training is a biofeedback method of learning how to regulate your heart rate variability through your breath. Using a visual display and a pulse sensor, you will be guided through breathing exercises in session. This service is offered in conjunction with psychotherapy or neurofeedback services.

Neurofeedback

- An initial intake is completed to obtain your behavioral/medical history and goals. This will include an interview and completion of several written symptom measures that you will complete.
- An initial assessment will be conducted using EEG sensors (which measure the electrical activity in specific areas of the brain) temporarily placed on your scalp. This non-invasive assessment informs if certain areas of the brain are overactive or underactive.
- Depending on your assessment, intake and goals, brain training sessions may begin. They ideally occur two times a week for a portion of a 55-minute psychotherapy session, for 20-40 sessions depending on goals and severity of the identified issues being addressed.
