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, I’ve developed a specialty in treating and diagnosing undiagnosed adults, especially women who
have been overlooked and misunderstood.
Therapist
Marcia works with neurodivergent adults (18 and older) including autistic teens and adults, AuADHD, and nonverbal learning disability (NVLD) 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 psychology addressing the isses of unundiagnosed adults, especially women, the overlap between autism and ADHD, nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD), and the challenges autistic children face navigating school. She’s an experienced speaker having addressed world autism conferences for parents, educators, clinicians, and the autistic community.
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.
