Seek Answers and Navigate Your Child’s Autism With Compassionate Expertise
If you’re noticing signs in your child that may suggest autism, such as delayed language development, challenges with social interactions, repetitive behaviors, or sensory sensitivities, pursuing a psychological evaluation at Mind Works is a critical first step. Our experienced psychologists specialize in diagnosing autism, offering deep insights into your child’s unique strengths and areas for growth. This evaluation is not just about labeling; it’s about understanding your child’s world, paving the way for tailored support and interventions that resonate with their specific needs.
Receiving a diagnosis of autism opens the door to a wealth of resources and specialized treatment plans designed to support your child’s development in communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. At Mind Works, we believe in empowering families with knowledge and strategies, connecting you with the right support systems to navigate this journey. If our assessments reveal that your child does not meet the diagnostic criteria for autism, our team will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that fosters your child’s abilities.

Success Stories
“Highly recommend Mind Works. I am a clinician in Illinois and needed to find a clinic in Texas that could provide services to my client that was moving. This is no easy feat to do across the United States. Mind Works was fabulous to work with from the very beginning. Coordination of care was 5 stars and my “previous” client is very happy with their new counselor. Thank you very much for going above and beyond during this difficult time so many other counseling offices are facing. I appreciate all the help and coordination you offered my client!”
“I have known the owners for over 8 years and have taken a family member to Mind Works. Therefore, I can speak of them both personally and professionally. There truly is no better place for this service, especially for children and young adults. On the personal level, I know how much they truly care about everyone they meet. On a professional level, the entire staff is a reflection of the dedication to helping others and competence that gets results that the owners exude. During the incredibly trying time of this pandemic and the fear and anxiety it has caused many people, we are incredibly blessed to have Mind Works available to support.”
“The front desk staff is kind and courteous and helped me find the right therapist for my child. When I met my therapist she was kind and explained the process to me. I love that she included me in the play therapy process and helped me understand how to help my child. Thankful for the therapists at Mind Works!”
“Mindworks is the leader in child centered play therapy and collaborative care in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Their focus is solely on the mental health of children and teenagers. Each clinician at all four locations is seasoned, knowledgeable, experienced, and capable. Parents trust that their child is going to get the treatment and services they need and deserve.
I thoroughly enjoyed working as a clinician at Mindworks. The support and leadership is consistent and outstanding. Unlike any other job that I have had, leadership and clinicians work together to cultivate an awesome work environment.”
