Therapy has been a part of Katerina Kelly\u2019s weekly routine since elementary school, when a teacher suggested counseling for the 8-year-old.<\/p>\n

At the time, Katerina\u2019s autism was affecting their ability to manage time, make decisions and socialize. And for many years, the therapist seemed helpful. But once college rolled around, things changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always left counseling feeling either worse than I started \u2014 or numb,\u201d said Mx. Kelly, 29, who lives in Natick, Mass, and uses they\/them pronouns.<\/p>\n

The skills that Mx. Kelly\u2019s therapist had taught her in childhood weren\u2019t translating as well now that she was older. In other words, they had hit a rut \u2014 the therapy, and the therapist, were not producing the desired results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
