O’Connor Professional Group is a concierge service and does not accept insurance. We do our best to help clients find treatment providers who accept insurance.

Approximately one in every fifty-four children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder; a limited number of individuals in that group receive the treatment and care that they need.

OPG Autism Spectrum Disorder Services include options targeted to individuals and families seeking support and services for a loved one with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Many individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder may have a co-occurring mental health condition or other behavioral issues, which can be addressed through OPG services.

FAMILY, ADVISOR, AND EMPLOYER SERVICES

OPG also offers guidance to advisors, employers, and professionals when they encounter behavioral health issues in their work with families, colleagues, or employees. Additionally, family, advisor, and employer services include:

  • Education on diagnosis
  • Crisis management
  • Support on developing and holding healthy boundaries
