Question 1

What does therapy for Autistic clients work on?

Accepted Answer

If you are wondering what therapy would even be for, it is usually the things the world makes harder rather than Autism itself: burnout, Anxiety, sensory load, masking, work, and relationships. A licensed therapist can explain how they work and what sessions might look like. On Alma, browse therapists in Folsom who work with Autistic clients and read how each one describes their approach.

Question 2

Do I need a formal diagnosis to book?

Accepted Answer

Not having a formal diagnosis does not have to stop you. Self-identified and questioning clients can book therapy, and where you are in that process is a reasonable thing to bring to a first conversation. Most therapists do not carry out diagnostic assessments themselves, so if a formal evaluation is what you want, ask before you book on Alma.

On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Folsom who work with Autistic clients and reach out to a few with those questions.
