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. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Georgia who work with Autistic clients and save the ones that fit.

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.

Question 3

Do therapists in Georgia see Autistic adults?

Question 4

How can I tell if a therapist understands Autistic clients?

Accepted Answer

On Alma, browse therapists in Georgia who work with Autistic clients and start with the profiles that speak to your situation.

Question 5

Can I tell a therapist how I prefer to communicate?

On Alma, browse therapists in Georgia who work with Autistic clients and include your preferences in your first message.

Question 7

Will insurance pay for therapy as an Autistic adult in Georgia?

Question 9

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

On Alma, compare therapists in Georgia who work with Autistic clients and ask about pacing when you reach out.

Question 10

What happens if I do not click with my therapist?
