Autism and Asperger's
Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
While I am not autistic, two of the four of us in my family are. I am certified to treat autism and I have worked with many autistic clients. As with ADHD, autism is only a "disorder"in the context of our culture. Autistic brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. When autistic people are measured by neurotypical standards, it's no surprise they appear "disordered." The same happens to neurotypicals when you measure them by autistic standards. My role is one of support and education. I will help you understand how your brain works (as opposed to the neurotypical brain) and to identify the strengths you have as a result of the way your brain works. I will help you develop strategies to help with challenges you are dealing with and other potential issues such as emotional regulation and unmasking. See my website for more information.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
All mental health problems are rooted in the break down in our relationships. The biggest struggle for people on the autistic spectrum is the struggle of relational intelligence, yearning to connect and yet lacking the ability or relational intelligence to know how to connect. We partner with parents and their children to strengthen the relational bounds and support the family in becoming the reference point for your children to grow socially and emotionally.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a neuropsychologist with extensive expertise in the evaluation and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders throughout the lifespan. In my practice, I am able to do diagnostic evaluations for ages 2.5 and up, including into adulthood. I offer a range of evaluation types depending on age and needs, from a diagnostic evaluation designed to determine whether someone has an ASD to a very comprehensive evaluation that assesses the impact of ASD (and any other comorbid difficulties) on learning, development, and behavioral functioning. By providing an in-depth understanding of the person with an ASD, I can make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. I also offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ASDs in order to help identify careers that match their interests, skills, and abilities.
