Autism Resource Center

Your mental health is important, and support is closer than you think. 💙

We're excited to share that a licensed clinician from the Advocates counseling team is available on-site at the Autism Resource Center every Monday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

If you're seeking emotional support, guidance, or help navigating services, our clinician is here to help and can connect you with both in-person and virtual therapy options—with no waitlists.

*Please note: Visits are by appointment only. There are no walk-in appointments, so appointments must be scheduled in advance.*

To schedule an appointment or learn more, please contact Kris Cariglia at [email protected] or call (508) 835-4278.
