Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
ASD is a prominent disorder in children, affecting 1 in 54 children according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control). ASD is a developmental disability that is characterized by difficulty with reading social cues, communication and behavioral challenges. Autism is now considered a spectrum disorder and children with ASD communicate, interact, behave and learn in ways that are not typical for other children. The spectrum can range from gifted to severely challenged. For some it means they need a lot of help in daily life and others will need less.
At Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc. we are here to help.Our psychologist can evaluate and determine if your child has ASD, our therapist can work with the individual on building social skills, we can work with the parents by supporting them through their struggle and how it might affect their marriage and we can work with the siblings of children with ASD to learn how to understand and how to get their needs met in healthy ways. If your child is really struggling to manage symptoms, our psychiatrist can determine if medication can be helpful so that child can better benefit from therapy.
It is typical for a family with ASD to be unbalanced, meaning that the one with the symptoms takes lots of time and effort and the siblings often overcompensate by being “the one who doesn’t cause any problems” thus often isolating or trying to be a perfectionist. We try to restore balance to the family so that all members of the family get their needs met in a healthy way. We can also work with the school and make sure the 504 plan or IEP (Individual Education Plan) is working and that the proper accommodations are being used.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience working with autistic children, teens, and adults. I conceptualize autism under the neurodiversity umbrella and do not view autism itself as something that needs to be "fixed", but rather understood. I strive to support my autistic clients in feeling empowered in how to best support any sensory or social-related issues they may experience. I also support clients in identifying and supporting any anxious and/or depressive symptoms that may be the result of unidentified autism in a neurotypical dominant world.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In my therapeutic approach, autism is embraced as a profound spiritual journey towards awakening to one's authentic self and the process of unmasking. This perspective honors the unique way autistic individuals experience the world, focusing on the deep self-discovery that comes from navigating life with an innate depth of feeling, heightened sensitivity, and a distinct way of processing experiences. By viewing autism through this lens, we celebrate the strengths, creativity, and insights that being autistic brings, shifting away from pathologizing to understanding autism as an integral part of one's identity and spiritual path.
The core of our work together is to empower autistic individuals to live authentically, leveraging their unique gifts to lead a life of fulfillment and connection. This journey involves developing strategies to manage sensory sensitivities, enhance communication, and foster meaningful relationships, all while reducing feelings of overwhelm and self-criticism. Central to this process is the unmasking of one’s true identity, shedding societal expectations and labels to reveal the authentic self beneath.
Seeing autism as a spiritual journey of awakening and unmasking allows us to support individuals in embracing their neurodiversity as a source of healing, strength, and profound personal growth. Together, we explore the richness of the autistic experience, fostering a deep sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and joy in the journey towards self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. This approach not only affirms the value and beauty of the autistic way of being but also highlights the importance of celebrating each individual's journey towards embracing their authentic self.
