John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effectively applied in therapy sessions for individuals with autism to address cognitive and behavioral challenges. I often focus on identifying and modifying maladaptive thought patterns, fostering emotional regulation, and improving social skills. By emphasizing cognitive restructuring and behavioral interventions, CBT offers a structured and goal-oriented approach to help individuals with autism navigate social interactions and manage stressors more effectively.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a neuropsychologist with extensive expertise in the evaluation and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders throughout the lifespan. In my practice, I am able to do diagnostic evaluations for ages 2.5 and up, including into adulthood. I offer a range of evaluation types depending on age and needs, from a diagnostic evaluation designed to determine whether someone has an ASD to a very comprehensive evaluation that assesses the impact of ASD (and any other comorbid difficulties) on learning, development, and behavioral functioning. By providing an in-depth understanding of the person with an ASD, I can make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. I also offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ASDs in order to help identify careers that match their interests, skills, and abilities.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Through evidence-based interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I have worked closely with individuals across the spectrum to address core deficits and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable components, I implement structured and individualized behavior plans tailored to each person's specific needs and strengths. Utilizing positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I foster the acquisition of new skills and behaviors while reducing challenging behaviors.
