Autism therapists in Encinitas, California CA
Dr. Pamela Collman
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
About a year ago the prevalence of autism was estimated to be 1/132, but now may be 1/68. Many who are diagnosed as being on the spectrum have unique gifts or talents, but need much intervention in social emotional development and communication. I evaluate for SHYNESS and temperament too.

Family & Children's Counseling Services, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, 102308
Children and teens on the spectrum may face emotional struggles and challenging behaviors. We help children and teens learn coping and communication skills while they process life's difficulties and express emotions - often non-verbally. Parents are supported in their role as primary caretaker, finding ways to connect, attach, and improve on challenging behaviors.
Several members of our team have personal and professional experience with ASD and are especially compassionate and aware of the struggles Aussie kids and their families face.
Families in the very Northern California area can come to our Chico office where we have several hands-on / non-verbal rooms, including a sensory therapy room, art therapy room, play therapy with sand tray, and nurture room.
There is hope and healing. Let us help you and your child or teen heal, play, and love again!
