Marcia Eckerd, Ph.D.
Everyday Neurodiversity
MY GOAL IS TO EXPAND THE UNDERSTANDING OF NEURODIVERSITY
Marcia Eckerd
Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
After years of working with autistic and other neurodivergent individuals (such as NVLD and AuADHD), I’ve developed a specialty in treating and diagnosing undiagnosed adults, especially women who have been overlooked and misunderstood.
I’ve recently opened my practice to new therapy clients as well as to evaluations.
Therapist
I develop individualized treatment approaches for every client, using tools such as cognitive therapy, strategic coaching, EMDR, meditation and psychoeducation. We deal with social issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, flexibility, and executive functions. The therapy relationship has to be authentic and personal, a new experience for those who are often masking.
Diagnostician
For neurodivergent people understanding themselves
can be life changing.
I specialize in
identifying adults who’ve been missed because their autistic traits don’t fit the stereotype
of autism.
Autism, ADHD, depression and anxiety often overlap, and a person needs to be looked at and treated holistically.
Speaker
I am a leader in the field of psychology addressing the issues of undiagnosed adults, especially women, the overlap between autism and ADHD, nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD), and the challenges autistic children face navigating school.
I am an experienced speaker having addressed world autism conferences for parents, educators, clinicians, and the autistic community.
Consulting
After being in practice for over
30 years, I have a wealth of experience to bring to consulting with neurodivergent
adults, professionals, families, schools, employers,
and organizations
for understanding issues
related to neurodiversity and beyond.
