Michigan Psychological Care, a privately owned provider of mental health, substance abuse and counseling services, has announced the opening of its new autism care clinic. The clinic, Michigan Autism Care & ABA Services, will be hosted inside Michigan Psychological Care's Gratiot Psychological Services office in Alma, Michigan. The clinic offers direct one-on-one therapy for children, ages 2 to 21, diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), focusing on physical, sensory, behavioral, cognitive and communication needs.

"The Michigan Autism Care & ABA Services clinic will allow us to better provide a diverse array of autism interventions such as incidental teaching, precision teaching, social skills and more," said CEO Brad Messenger.

Michigan Autism Care & ABA Services is led by Clinical Director Amanda Patterson, LPC, Clinic Director/BCBA Lauren Wilson, and Clinic Director/BCBA Nikki Reeves. The center is also supported by Gratiot Psychological Services staff, including a regional manager, behavior technicians, and several clinical and support staff who keep the center running smoothly.

"We are excited and looking forward to supporting the autism needs of Michigan and the local community by improving the quality of life for our children, teens and young adults who might not otherwise get the care they need," said Patterson.

Later this year, Michigan Psychological Care plans to open an additional office in Howell, Michigan.

Like Michigan Psychological Care's other locations in St. Johns and Midland, Michigan, Autism Care & ABA Services accepts all insurances, Medicaid and Medicare. For those outside Gratiot County, self-pay is accepted. Michigan Autism Care & ABA Services 989-796-4555
