Hello, I am Yulika, the founder of The Expert Ally, LLC. I have been working with children and adults, including those with disabilities and neurodevelopmental conditions, for over 25 years. 

I approach every client and every situation with compassion, kindness, and commitment. As an advocate, I am persistent and relentless, yet collaborative and respectful of your relationship with the school. As a therapist, I am attentive, thoughtful, and creative. In collaboration with my therapy clients, I help them develop insight and make changes that reduce suffering and bring them closer to living the life they want. When I work with children, I also work with parents and frequently with schools to help children grow and develop the skills they need. 

I have extensive training in and experience with autism in children and adults, as well as experience working with individuals with ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and other complex presentations. Due to my multidisciplinary training, I am especially well positioned to work with complex profiles and presentations, such as clients who have multiple overlapping conditions and those experiencing acute challenges. 

Whether it is figuring out the best school services for a complex student, conducting a school observation, or supporting a struggling client in therapy, I have the expertise to help.
