Looking for an adult autism assessment with an autistic psychologist? Feeling dismissed by people who don’t understand medical trauma or how hard it is to stop masking? You have the right to feel accepted, heard, and believed—even during an assessment! I was “late-diagnosed” and understand how relieving a diagnosis can be after decades of feeling misunderstood and exhausted.

Sometimes it feels like we are doing everything we can to hold it all together and yet it's not getting any better. You are definitely not alone! I grew up in a small town but moved to Fredericton 12 years ago to acquire my BA in Psychology & Sociology, and my Masters in Counselling Psychology. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in addition to a Licensed Counselling Therapist (LCT). When I'm not fuelling my soul with sports, friends/family and some yummy food at a local restaurant, I am in the office doing my dream job of supporting children, youth and adults as they find ways to feel their best.

My experience has taught me that we all have the innate ability to heal ourselves when we are given a safe environment, the right tools, and guidance from a person or people who believe in us. The clinical approach I take differs from person to person because I view each client as unique with their own set of needs, but all clients need to feel heard and validated in a shame-free space. In my 17 years practicing, I have continued to learn as much from my clients as they learn from me and I feel privileged to have been trusted by so many on their healing journeys.

I really don’t have an ideal client in mind. Every client has different needs and requires somewhat of a customized approach. I enjoy helping people so anyone I’m helping I’m getting a sense of satisfaction from.

What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
