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, I’ve developed a speciality in diagnosing undiagnosed adults, especially women who have been overlooked and misunderstood.
Therapist
Marcia works with adults
(18 and older) with autistic traits, dealing with social issues, depression, anxiety, flexibility, and executive functions. Her approach is individualized to each client, using tools such as cognitive therapy, strategic coaching, and techniques for
emotional regulation.
Diagnostician
For neurodivergent people understanding themselves
can be life changing.
Marcia specializes 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.
Speaker
Marcia is a leader in the field of understanding and diagnosing autistic women, and in the challenges for neurodivergent children in school
and at home.
She’s experienced in
speaking for parents, educators,
and clinical professionals.
Consulting
After 30 years, Marcia has a wealth of experience to bring to consulting with neurodivergent
adults, professionals, families, schools, employers,
and organizations
for understanding issues
related to neurodiversity.
