Autism and Asperger's
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.

Autism and Asperger's
Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
I create a welcoming and accepting environment where clients can explore their experiences, recognizing the challenges posed by a world that may undervalue their lived experiences and vital needs.
In our sessions, we collaboratively explore the specific needs of autistic clients, acknowledging the diverse ways in which neurodivergence manifests. We discuss strategies for navigating a world that may not always prioritize or understand these needs, addressing issues related to avoiding or recovering from autistic burnout, managing isolation, anxiety, etc. and regulating the nervous system.
My focus is on empowering clients to identify and express their needs, promoting self-advocacy and resilience. Together, we work on developing practical strategies for avoiding burnout, fostering safe and important social connections, and navigating overwhelming/difficult environments with more confidence and success.
The goal is to celebrate neurodiversity while enhancing my client's overall well-being living with autism.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Using evidence-based practices like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I collaborate with individuals across the spectrum to address core challenges and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps, I create structured, personalized behavior plans that align with each person’s unique needs and strengths. Through positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors while effectively reducing challenging ones. My approach is both compassionate and strategic, ensuring that each person receives the support they need to thrive.
