Robert McAlister
About
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Dr. Robert McAlister. I currently hold two licenses in New York and California. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward greater well-being and self-understanding. As a clinician, I have over 33 years of clinical experience working with the autism spectrum disorder community and I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard and understood. My goal is to partner with you, helping you find resilience and uncover strengths as we work together to get you the support and resources you need. Every person’s journey is unique, and I’m committed to offering care that is as individual as you are
My motivation for working with autistic adults stems from a deep respect for neurodiversity and a passion for fostering a space where every individual feels valued and empowered. I am inspired by the strengths, perspectives, and resilience of the autistic community, and I strive to provide support that honors each person’s unique experiences. I also have family members who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and understand the importance of giving support to those in need. My goal is to help clients navigate challenges, build on their strengths, and develop skills that enhance their daily lives and relationships. Together, I can help you feel understood and supported during the process of initial diagnosis.
I prioritize an affirming and strengths-based approach to ensure that every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered. I believe that each client possesses unique strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to navigate life's challenges and achieve one's personal goals. I actively listen to each person's experiences and validate each person's thoughts, emotions and feelings, creating a safe space where one can express themselves authentically
