The SLC Counseling Associates, LLC
Individual Counseling Sessions
Our individual counseling services support children, adolescents, and adults through personalized, evidence-based approaches that build social-emotional skills, improve coping strategies, and address developmental and learning-related challenges. Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs and may include play-based therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and skill-building for emotional regulation, social communication, and executive functioning. We prioritize timely access to care and currently have immediate daytime openings, making it easier for families and working adults to begin treatment without long waits. Our licensed and associate-level clinicians collaborate with caregivers, schools, and other providers to create coordinated, practical plans that promote lasting progress.
Learn a little more about our distinct approaches tailored to children, adolescents, and adult clients:
Counseling for neurodiverse children and adolescents
Assessment-informed, family-centered planning: We begin with a thorough intake and functional assessment of strengths, communication, social understanding, and executive skills. That profile guides an individualized plan developed with caregivers and, when appropriate, the child or teen.
Play-based and developmentally appropriate interventions: For preschool and early elementary children, clinicians use play, story-based techniques, modeling, and structured routines to build early social communication, emotional regulation, joint attention, pretend play, and language-pragmatic skills.
Social-cognitive and skill-building work: For school-age children and adolescents, we integrate Social Thinking curricula, concrete social skills teaching, role-play, video modeling, and in-session coaching to teach perspective taking, flexible thinking, conversational skills, and friendship-building strategies.
Behavioral and classroom-collaboration strategies: We use positive behavior supports (functional behavior assessment, visual supports, antecedent modification, reinforcement systems) and consult with families and schools to create consistent, predictable environments and plans that reduce problem behavior and support learning.
Regulation and self-management: Clinicians teach individualized strategies, coping plans, and calming routines (movement breaks, visual schedules) that help children regulate arousal and participate more successfully at home and school.
Executive function supports: Interventions focus on planning, organization, time management, task initiation and completion using age-appropriate scaffolds (checklists, timers, task breakdowns) and gradual transfer of responsibility to the child.
Family coaching and caregiver training: We can provide parent coaching, modeling, and structured parent sessions so caregivers can generalize skills across settings, support behavior plans, and reinforce social-emotional growth.
Transition and school-readiness planning: For adolescents, we add goal-focused work on self-advocacy, school accommodations, peer supports, and preparation for high school transitions or post-secondary plans.
Counseling for neurodiverse adults (including newly diagnosed ASD or ADHD)
Diagnostic-informed, person-centered treatment plans
Work with Neurodiverse Adults
We provide individualized supports that promote independence, social connection, and self-advocacy for neurodiverse adults, including those with autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, and related neurodevelopmental differences. Services are grounded in evidence-based practices and delivered with respect for each person’s strengths, goals, and lived experience.
Assessment and Goal Planning
Comprehensive intake to identify strengths, needs, routines, and priorities (functional skills, employment, relationships, community participation).
Collaborative goal-setting that centers the adult’s preferences and long-term vision.
Regular progress reviews and outcome tracking to adjust supports as goals evolve.
Social and Communication Supports
Small-group and individual coaching focused on conversation skills, perspective-taking, interpreting social cues, pragmatic language, and maintaining relationships.
Real-world practice opportunities (community outings, supported volunteering, guided social groups) to generalize skills.
Strategies to reduce social anxiety and increase confidence in social interactions.
Executive Functioning and Daily Living
Coaching for planning, organization, time management, task initiation, and problem solving tailored to work, education, and home life.
Structured routines, visual supports, and compensatory tools (planners, checklists, apps) to build independence.
Training in personal finance basics, household management, and transportation navigation as needed.
Mental Health and Emotional Regulation
Individual counseling and skills-based groups addressing emotion regulation, stress management, trauma-informed care, and co-occurring mood or anxiety concerns.
Teaching coping strategies such as grounding, paced breathing, cognitive reframing, and self-modulation tailored to individual profiles.
Assistance connecting to community resources, peer networks, and adult service systems when appropriate.
Family and Caregiver Collaboration
Involvement of chosen supports (family, partners, peers) in goal planning and skill generalization when desired by the adult.
Training for caregivers on promoting autonomy, effective communication, and supporting transitions across life stages.
Telehealth and Community-Based Delivery
Flexible service delivery including telehealth, in-person clinic sessions, and community-based supports to meet adults where they are.
Outcome-Focused, Person-Centered Approach
Emphasis on measurable outcomes: increased independence, community participation, job retention, improved relationships, and enhanced quality of life.
Respectful, stigma-free partnership that recognizes neurodiversity as a natural variation and centers each adult’s goals, identity, and dignity.
Telehealth Services:
Telehealth can be a highly effective option for many neurodivergent individuals, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Telehealth sessions are typically available for clients ages 12 and older. Younger clients may also be appropriate for virtual care, depending on their developmental level and ability to engage.
Virtual sessions are best suited for individuals who can actively participate in conversation and therapeutic activities during a video appointment. In some cases, we may recommend a hybrid model that combines in-person sessions with telehealth to better meet a client’s needs.
We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care. Our telehealth services are intentionally designed to be flexible, supportive, and responsive to each individual’s needs, ensuring that care remains both accessible and effective.
