Our team helps families navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and build a supportive environment at home. We empower families to advocate for their loved ones and access community resources.

Autism and Asperger's
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
All mental health problems are rooted in the break down in our relationships. The biggest struggle for people on the autistic spectrum is the struggle of relational intelligence, yearning to connect and yet lacking the ability or relational intelligence to know how to connect. We partner with parents and their children to strengthen the relational bounds and support the family in becoming the reference point for your children to grow socially and emotionally.

Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
While I am not autistic, two of the four of us in my family are. I am certified to treat autism and I have worked with many autistic clients. As with ADHD, autism is only a "disorder"in the context of our culture. Autistic brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. When autistic people are measured by neurotypical standards, it's no surprise they appear "disordered." The same happens to neurotypicals when you measure them by autistic standards. My role is one of support and education. I will help you understand how your brain works (as opposed to the neurotypical brain) and to identify the strengths you have as a result of the way your brain works. I will help you develop strategies to help with challenges you are dealing with and other potential issues such as emotional regulation and unmasking. See my website for more information.
