Autism Therapists in Austin, TX

If you feel like “others don’t get me”, feel you have difficulty connecting with others, or just feel you are unable to handle the many stressors of life, I may be able to help. Clients often reach out when they feel what they have been doing is not working. All of our brains are wired differently & sometimes that requires us to use different approaches to address the challenges in our lives. My goal is to help individuals learn concrete tools & empower them to gain confidence in using their strengths to overcome challenges and reach their goals. My name is Ashley; I identify as a cis-gendered, African American & Neurotypical.

Deciding to take that first step to better yourself and change your life is tough when you are afraid the person you have chosen to help you just may not be able to or even understands your needs. As your therapist, I recognize wholeheartedly how important that first step is. Together, one of our focuses initially is building confidence, comfort, and rapport with each other, so that as we walk together through your issues, you can feel good about doing so. We will develop a plan of care specifically for your individual needs rather using than one specific method based on “identifying markers".

Feeling safe on our own and feeling connected with others is the key to both our happiness and success; it can also be one of the most challenging things we do in our lives. I have spent my career working with a wide variety of individuals to support them in learning strategies to get their needs met in healthy ways. I specialize in working on attachment issues and relationship issues for both children and adults. In our time together, we would work to develop a treatment plan including setting goals and agreeing on interventions to help you to achieve those goals to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

Are you neuroqueer? You are, or think you might be, gifted, trans, ADHD, gay, autistic, poly, or a highly sensitive person. These identities begin on the inside, in how we relate to and experience the world. In turn, they shape how the world treats us. Because they start within us, they often go unnoticed, by ourselves or others, for at least a while. But we’ve always felt them, somehow. We know we are different; we feel we don’t belong or can’t fit in. It seems like everyone else got a copy of a script or rulebook that we didn’t. It’s a struggle to know who or how to be.

I enjoy working with children and adolescents of any age. Listening to children and teenagers is so important as they often can tell us what we need to know to support them. I use both talking and play to facilitate connection and communication. Interpersonal experiences affect our relationships and the way in which we interact with others. I have a strong background in family systems, school collaboration and developmental and attachment theory which is instrumental in my work with clients. I also work with families to facilitate communication when there is a disruption in the family system due to divorce or adoption.

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of mental health. However, mental well-being is just as critical as physical health.
