What People Ask Us
1) How long are the appointments? How much do they cost? Do you meet with people in person or online? Do you offer free consultation calls?
Each session is 50 minutes long and $200. Charnell and Jennica meet with clients in their office in Tampa (in person) and online (video call). Ellie meets with clients online (video call). All counselors offer free 20-minute consultation video calls.
2) Can you give me some information about the building and your office?
Our office is in Tampa in a three-story building located at 4100 West Kennedy Blvd. There is a large parking lot in the back of the building. You can enter the building from the front or the back of the building and there is an elevator (and stairs) that will take you up to the second floor. We are in suite 230 at the end of the hall. When you open the door to our suite, you will enter our lobby which is where you can wait until your counselor gets you for your appointment. There is a white noise machine playing in the lobby to provide privacy to those in session. You may bring noise reduction ear plugs if this noise is unsettling for you. There is one lamp in the room. There are no windows and no fluorescent lighting. We do not have any additional scents, such as candles or oil diffusers, throughout the office. In our lobby there is a gray couch you may sit on if you would like. We have a lot of books about Autism on the coffee table that you might like to look through. When you enter our office, there is a nice light brown leather couch on the left and two black and white chairs on the right. There are no florescent lights and there are two lamps. There is also a large window that offers natural lighting and a view of a parking lot. There are no additional scents. The walls are plain and white. We have a coffee table with lots of stimmy gadgets to use during session if you would like. You may tour our office on our home page.
3) Do you accept insurance?
No, we do not, but we recommend you check with your insurance company (if you have insurance) to see if you can be reimbursed by your insurance company.
4) I am an adult and I think I am Autistic. Do you diagnose?
Yes, we do. Learn about our Autism assessments here.
4) Do I need to get a formal Autism diagnosis to identify as Autistic?
Nope. While there are still many reasons why individuals are obtaining formal evaluations, there are also many reasons why adults are increasingly not doing so and instead choosing to self-identify. If you self-identify as Autistic and have begun living life with this new lens, congratulations. We have no doubt that it was a long road that led to your decision and that it included many hours of research and self-reflection. We hope that many questions you have had your entire life have been answered. Of course, you may also have many new questions about what this means for different areas of your life. We are here to help you in that process if you find you need additional support.
