Autism-informed therapy and assessment

Therapy related to autism spans assessment, support for social and communication differences, help with anxiety or burnout, and guidance for families. Many providers take a neurodiversity-affirming approach — the goal is understanding and accommodating how an autistic person experiences the world, building on strengths, and supporting well-being, rather than changing who someone is.

Autism presents differently across individuals and ages, and many people, especially adults and women, are identified later in life. Some providers below offer formal evaluations while others focus on therapy and support; each profile describes what that provider offers, so you can find the right fit for you or your family.
