TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My practice will diagnose and treat the 5 variations of autism including Asperger's Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Kanner's Syndrome, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder. I believe these problems are primarily a result of problems in the brain. The brain is not working normally, and hence neither is the mind. My treatment involves mind/brain approaches. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
ASD is a prominent disorder in children, affecting 1 in 54 children according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control). ASD is a developmental disability that is characterized by difficulty with reading social cues, communication and behavioral challenges. Autism is now considered a spectrum disorder and children with ASD communicate, interact, behave and learn in ways that are not typical for other children. The spectrum can range from gifted to severely challenged. For some it means they need a lot of help in daily life and others will need less.
At Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc. we are here to help.Our psychologist can evaluate and determine if your child has ASD, our therapist can work with the individual on building social skills, we can work with the parents by supporting them through their struggle and how it might affect their marriage and we can work with the siblings of children with ASD to learn how to understand and how to get their needs met in healthy ways. If your child is really struggling to manage symptoms, our psychiatrist can determine if medication can be helpful so that child can better benefit from therapy.
It is typical for a family with ASD to be unbalanced, meaning that the one with the symptoms takes lots of time and effort and the siblings often overcompensate by being “the one who doesn’t cause any problems” thus often isolating or trying to be a perfectionist. We try to restore balance to the family so that all members of the family get their needs met in a healthy way. We can also work with the school and make sure the 504 plan or IEP (Individual Education Plan) is working and that the proper accommodations are being used.
