What we offer
Diagnostic assessments for autism & other concerns
While we focus on older children, teens, and adults, our team is trained to work with individuals across the lifespan. This includes early detection in toddlers along the continuum to adulthood.
Individual therapy
We offer individual therapy to children 7 years old and up, adolescents, and adults of all ages, as well as their parents, their partners, their siblings and their children.
Parenting & family support
Research has shown that parenting an autistic child (or teen) can be more stressful than parenting children with other types of challenges. We provide parent and family support, whether it’s for short-term consultations or ongoing therapy.
Consultations
Sometimes, we know we want some guidance but we don’t know where to begin. We just want to “pick the brain” of an expert. We provide consultation (usually 1-3 sessions) to target short-term issues.
Social skills groups for teens
We offer evidence-based social skills groups for teens and adults on the autism spectrum. Please inquire directly at info@sterlingautism.com to learn more about upcoming group dates.
