Marlene explores the benefits of counseling on both children
with ASD and their parents. For children, counseling may be
beneficial in increasing independence and responsibilities when
fading intensive services. For parents, counseling can help them
navigate the world of ASD treatments through the many financial,
emotional, and physical stressors they face.
We specialize in offering individual and couple counseling for
those with social skills impairments, social or general anxiety,
and individuals with a diagnosis of ASD, their siblings, parents
or care providers. We have extensive experience with these
concerns as they are expressed across the lifespan and we work
with children, adolescents and adults.
We are passionate about providing quality support to
parents to help them navigate treatment and services and
improve their confidence in their parenting skills and decision
making. Our counselors are skilled at combining their
knowledge of practical behavior management and interpersonal
therapeutic support to address practical and emotional challenges
facing parents. Whether clients are interested in weekly
sessions or wish to schedule once a month or “as needed”
sessions, we are available. Sessions may be scheduled for
individuals or couples.
Additionally, we offer relationship and sex education for teens
and young adults with ASD. We provide a safe and engaging
environment to learn about and discuss important information
related to relationships, anatomy, sexual behavior, abuse,
self-advocacy, contraception, and appropriate boundaries.
