🌈 Autism Therapy That Respects Your Child’s Uniqueness

Every autistic child is different. That’s why we never apply a one-size-fits-all method. Our therapeutic services include:

✅ Child-Centered Psychotherapy

Your child is invited into a safe space to explore their emotions through talk, play, movement, art, or silence — whatever feels right.

✅ Autism Counseling (Ages 4–18)

We provide therapy tailored to age, development, and needs — whether it’s helping with friendships, school anxiety, transitions, or sensory overwhelm.

✅ Family & Parent Support

We guide parents on how to support their neurodivergent child without relying on ABA strategies or traditional discipline techniques.

✅ Trauma-Informed Therapy

For children with complex developmental histories, we offer trauma-sensitive counseling rooted in compassion and trust.
