Alex Unwin Counseling

Welcome to Alex Unwin Counseling, a unique and client-centered practice dedicated to helping adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) navigate the challenges of everyday life. As a licensed therapist with years of experience in mental health advocacy and therapy, I, Alex Unwin, have made it my mission to provide personalized support and guidance to individuals on the autism spectrum.

Our Philosophy

My approach to therapy is rooted in my genuine interest in understanding the complexities of autism and its impact on daily life. I believe that every individual deserves a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to explore their strengths, challenges, and goals. By fostering a collaborative relationship, I empower my clients to take control of their lives, build confidence, and develop strategies for overcoming the unique challenges they face.

Services

At Alex Unwin Counseling, we offer a range of services tailored to the needs of adults with autism. Our practice specializes in:

Addressing Anxiety and Depression: Working with individuals to understand how certain thought patterns and coping mechanisms may be inadvertently contributing to their suffering, we collaborate to shift these patterns and promote feelings of safety, confidence, and effectiveness.

Building Social Competence: I provide explicit explanations and practice exercises to fill in the gaps of social understanding, helping individuals with autism develop a deeper understanding of social interactions and relationships.

Improving Organization and Productivity: By identifying and leveraging individual strengths, we develop strategies that work in harmony with the autistic brain, enhancing executive functioning and increasing productivity.

Support for Recent Diagnosis: For individuals who have recently received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, we provide guidance and support as they navigate this new understanding of themselves. We work together to identify strengths and develop strategies for leveraging those strengths against the areas that autism has made more challenging.

My Approach

As a therapist, I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment that encourages open communication and collaboration. My approach is based on my extensive experience working with individuals with autism, and I am dedicated to staying up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in autism therapy.
