Therapy for Autistic and Neurodivergent Children, Teens, & Adults

Most providers at CAPSS have extensive professional and personal experience with autism, and have dedicated our careers to working with this population. The majority of CAPSS providers were previously on medical staff for many years at Seattle Children’s Hospital - Autism Center, and continue to enjoy working with autistic children, teens, and adults. We have a long history of providing therapy and support for neurodivergent individuals, and practice from a neurodiversity-affirming paradigm. We incorporate our clients’ unique strengths and values while helping them work towards their own personal goals. We also have extensive training and experience in more subtle presentations of autism including girls, women, transgender and nonbinary individuals, autism in the context of giftedness/ “2e”, and autism that is not identified until adulthood.
