Autism Spectrum Support for Teens and Adults in Connecticut
Personalized support for individuals experiencing social, communication, or behavioral challenges, tailored to each person's strengths, needs, and developmental stage.
Support that starts with your strengths
Teens and adults on the autism spectrum often spend a lot of energy navigating a world that was not built with them in mind. Social situations, changes in routine, sensory overload, and communication differences can all add stress.
That stress can show up as anxiety, low mood, trouble with attention, or difficulty sleeping. Those concerns deserve care in their own right.
Jessica offers personalized support for adolescents 15 and older and adults experiencing social, communication, or behavioral challenges. Care is tailored to each person's strengths, needs, and developmental stage to promote confidence and daily success.

Your first visit covers your strengths, challenges, history, and goals, and how you prefer to communicate.

Psychiatric care, including medication management when appropriate, for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and sleep concerns that can come alongside autism.
Practical, supportive therapy

Ongoing support
Regular follow-ups to check what is working and adjust as school, work, or life changes.

What this care does and does not include
Jessica provides support and psychiatric care for teens and adults on the autism spectrum. She does not provide autism diagnostic evaluations or psychological testing.
If you are looking for a formal autism evaluation, start with a provider who offers diagnostic assessments. Jessica can still help with anxiety, mood, attention, or sleep concerns in the meantime.
