My clients are individuals of all ages on the autistic spectrum, who suspect they might be on th spectrum or have autistic traits: social difficulties, sensory issues, challenges with flexibility, handling relationships and jobs and anxiety. Many have no diagnosis, or have been given many different diagnoses. My goal is to understand, respect and help my client as an individual. I offer diagnosis for adults and treatment for all ages - women in particular can have a problem finding a clinician who "gets" them. I strongly recommend using meditation as an adjunct to therapy, since it’s proven to improve stress resilience..
My approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), stress management, social skills coaching, mindfulness/meditation and practical support . Teens and adults get help to achieve their personal goals; parents find insight and direction so they can understand and work with their children more successfully.
Call, and we can discuss the best way to meet your goals. I offer a free consultation. “Dr. Eckerd's insights changed the way we parent, and have eliminated a lot of frustration at home. Her work with our school has had considerable impact. The result is a less anxious, more confident kid."
