These can be a sign of an autism disorder. There are several professional therapists and counselors in Harrison who are trained in autism spectrum disorders.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New York providing brief online supportive therapy for adults in need of emotional support and guidance while navigating life challenges. I enjoy helping people gain perspective using an integrated approach to treatment consisting of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and other third wave and traditional models of therapy. I will use a conversational style of supportive intervention to help you increase awareness about what you care about the most in terms of moving forward through the Stages of Change. These models of treatment are collaborative in that we work together to explore possible solutions. We deconstruct behaviors and impulsive automatic thoughts and beliefs that may keep you stuck in a self-defeating cycle of learned behaviors and habits. This cycle often maintains the distress you are attempting to release. Cultivating a set of skills to stay grounded in the present moment with the purpose of empowering you to utilize your senses to simply notice or observe what is happening in the "here and now" without judgmental labels or descriptions about your experiences. This is acceptance of the present moment. Finally coming to understand that in spite of perceived barriers that can leave us feeling hopeless and helpless we can make at least one step forward by rethinking the meaning, intent, and purpose of any goal we strive to meet. We are the authors of our story and have editing power! DISCLAIMER: I am a Bible believing born-again follower of Jesus Christ . I can support believers who ask for Biblical inspiration to cope with everyday life stressors using scripture from the Holy Bible and integrating these spiritual principles with clinical models of treatment. As we face the uncertainty of life we can move past our fears, doubts, and insecurities by remaining grounded in the Word of God for strength.
