I reached out to a PhD psychologist who specialises in ASD and ADHD including EF, Depression, Anxiety, etc. She works directly with an autism clinic. I thought it would be a perfect fit but then she replied saying that she relies on CBT therapy?
I was pretty shocked that someone who treats autistic and neurodiverse people would only use CBT, which is proven to be one of the least effective modes of treatment for us. I know it certainly doesn't work for me.
I'll be staying with my other psychologist instead. I like her quite a bit, but I was hoping to shake things up and try a new approach / person for a few months.
Sigh.
I'm testing out a new therapist starting next Thursday, and I'm nervous too. You remind me I need to ask her primary methods as well. From what I can tell from her profile, she might be more into DBT (which I have never tried). CBT never worked for me either.
