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 work with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families to better understand communication styles, emotional experiences, and relational dynamics. My approach is respectful, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s strengths and needs. Therapy can support increased self-understanding, improved relationships, and navigating social or emotional challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
