Question 1

What can I work on with a therapist as an Autistic adult?

Accepted Answer

You get to choose what you bring. Burnout, sensory overload, masking, Anxiety, work, and relationships are all things you can talk through, and a therapist can tell you how they would approach the ones that matter most to you.

Question 2

Can I start therapy if I think I am Autistic but have not been diagnosed?

Accepted Answer

Wondering whether you are Autistic is a reasonable thing to explore in therapy. You do not need a diagnosis to start, and a therapist can talk with you about what you are noticing. Most therapists do not assess, so if a formal evaluation is what you want, ask first. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Longmont to see who mentions this.

Question 3

Is therapy for Autistic adults available in Longmont, CO?

Question 4

How do I tell whether a therapist will be a good fit?

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

Question 5

Can sessions be adjusted for sensory needs?

How do I find a therapist who works with Autistic adults in Longmont, CO?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Can I see a therapist from home instead of in an office?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

What if the first therapist is not the right fit?
