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.

Cost of Autism Therapy in New Jersey
At Thriving Wellness Center, we believe therapy should be accessible, transparent, and worth the investment in your wellbeing.
We are an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill insurance directly. However, we provide a superbill with all the necessary information for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Session fees vary depending on the therapist and service type (e.g., individual therapy, autism diagnostic evaluation, or couples counseling).

Virtual and In-Person Autism Therapy in New Jersey
At Thriving Wellness Center, we provide autism therapy and treatment to help clients build self-awareness, emotional balance, and practical coping strategies. Our therapy is designed to support both teens and adults in understanding their neurodivergent profile, managing daily challenges, and thriving authentically.
Neurodivergence-Affirming Individual Therapy for Autism
Our individual autism therapy sessions are designed for autistic and ADHD 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.
Support with Social Skills and Relationship Building
Our therapy and coaching help autistic teens and adults navigate social interactions, set healthy boundaries, and build meaningful relationships. We focus on practical strategies and self-awareness, so you can communicate effectively while staying true to your authentic self.
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.

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.”
