Therapists for Parents of Autistic Kids
August 2009
I'm looking for a referral for a therapist who works with south
asian families in need of support for living with children with
autism. Preferably in the south bay, but east bay and/or peninsula
is OK.
America's first, and only, center for South Asian special-needs kids
happens to be located right here in the Bay Area. Please contact Jeena
(jeena.org or (408) 957-0481) and you will find an amazing community. I've
known the folks at Jeena for nearly 10 years.

I would reccommend you contact Dr Naheed Sheikh PhD. She is an excellent
therapist who has done a lot of work with individuals and families. Her
contact number is 510-759-3351.

My child is moderately autistic, and I need to work through my
grief and worry. Does anyone know of a therapist in the N.
Berkeley area who is good with parents (and families) of special
needs children?
I highly recommend Lucia Milburn, who facilitates several parent
groups for families with sp.needs children, and also has a
private practice in Berkeley. She will also probably have
referrals for you for other groups and/or therapists. Her tel.
is 510-540-5138.

Sharada Thompson in North Berkeley is very sensitive about these
issues. She has worked in schools in addition to her work as a
therapist and understands many dimensions (practical, emotional,
etc.) of the experience of living with these kinds of diagnoses.
Dr.Thompson's number is 415-775-0559
Good luck!
