Autism and Asperger's
Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I am comfortable diagnosing and treating autistic individuals with medication and psychotherapy, or a combination of both. I specialize in EMDR and other trauma-informed modalities from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Let's work together to help you reclaim some executive function! There is no medication to "cure" autism, because a cure is not what autistic folks need. I medicate symptoms if needed and work on the difficulty of living in a world that was not built for you.

I have seen people on the spectrum for 30 years. I've run a group for parents of people on the spectrum. Each person on the spectrum has different needs.
