Comprehensive Autism Testing in New Jersey
Our Autism evaluations in New Jersey are designed to provide an accurate, compassionate, and personalized understanding of whether Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) best explains your experiences. We specialize in assessing adults and teens who may have been misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or overlooked—particularly high-achieving or late-identified individuals.
Your evaluation may include:
An in-depth clinical interview exploring development, relationships, and strengths
Standardized testing for Autism and related conditions (including ADHD)
Emotional and cognitive assessments to understand how you process information
A feedback session reviewing results, diagnostic impressions, and next steps
An optional comprehensive written report that can support workplace, academic, or personal needs
We ensure every step of your evaluation is neurodiversity-affirming, respectful, and empowering.

In-Person or Virtual Autism Therapy Services in New Jersey
We also offer autism therapy and treatment to help clients build self-awareness, coping skills, and emotional balance.
Our treatment options include:
Neurodivergence-Affirming Individual Therapy for Autism
Our individual autism therapy sessions are designed for autistic and AuDHD adults and teens seeking greater self-understanding and emotional regulation. Therapy focuses on:
Psychoeducation and Identity Integration
Building a deep understanding of your neurodivergent profile — reframing past struggles (such as social difficulties, being misunderstood, or academic burnout) not as personal shortcomings but as natural outcomes of living in a world not designed for your brain.
Processing the Toll of Autism Masking and Camouflaging
Exploring the emotional and physical toll of suppressing your authentic traits. Therapy provides a safe, validating space to process exhaustion, anxiety, and disconnection while learning to unmask safely and gradually.
Developing an “Energy Budget”
Learning to identify which activities, environments, and relationships drain or restore your energy — and creating routines that respect your capacity. This helps reduce burnout and improve daily functioning.
Building an Authentic Sense of Self as an Autistic Adult
Supporting clients in embracing their natural ways of thinking, communicating, and self-regulating (including stimming, sensory tools, and special interests) while fostering genuine relationships.

Social and Emotional Skills Coaching
We offer social communication and emotional regulation coaching to help autistic adults and teens navigate relationships, boundaries, and real-world social expectations — while staying true to who they are.
Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD Symptoms
Many of our clients experience co-occurring anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Our integrative approach combines CBT, ACT, IFS, and mindfulness-based strategies to build resilience, reduce overwhelm, and improve executive functioning.
Neurodiverse Couples Therapy and Family Counseling
We provide neurodiverse couples counseling in New Jersey to help partners better understand each other’s communication styles, emotional needs, and sensory experiences. Family sessions are also available to improve understanding and connection at home.

“Before my friend recommended the Thriving Wellness Center, I had worked with a couple of therapists in New York trying to understand why I never could fit in with other people. Conversations have always been tough. Receiving an Autism Evaluation and diagnosis with Leila has helped me understand myself better. I wish I would have done this along time ago.”
