Neuropsychological Testing & Autism Evaluations
Neuropsychological evaluations assess a person’s functioning in various domains including; intellectual, cognitive, academic, and emotional/behavioral functioning. Common reasons for an evaluation include attention problems, autism-spectrum disorders, emotional/behavioral problems, and neurological illness/injury. Tests are used to determine a person’s strengths and weaknesses in various domains with the goal of helping them to be more successful in work, school, social, and other situations. The results of the evaluation are used to develop treatment recommendations and an intervention plan.

Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client and to guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the client’s process of self-discovery.
AutPlay Therapy

Family Therapy
Internal Family Systems therapy is based upon family systems theory, which emphasizes that individuals cannot be fully understood in isolation from the family unit. This therapy model attempts to better understand the person’s internal community or family and assumes that we all possess a variety of sub-parts. Healing occurs by getting to know all these parts and better understand how the overall system reacts in situations or to other people.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a particular type of treatment designed for individuals who experience very intense emotions and the impulsive, and often self-destructive behaviors that often accompany these emotions. Originally developed for individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder, it has now shown promise as a treatment for a variety of conditions, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We have providers who offer DBT skills incorporated into individual therapy, but we do not have a full DBT program at this time.
