I have lived experience as a late identified/diagnosed autistic person and have done numerous trainings (facilitated by autistic people) on neurodiversity affirming therapy and assessments.
(Note: Asperger's is no longer a diagnosis, but this specialty listing only had the choice of "Autism and Asperger's".)

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I embrace the unique world of individuals with Autism and Asperger's with profound empathy and respect. My approach is rooted in understanding the distinct experiences and perspectives that come with these conditions. Through a blend of specialized therapies and compassionate support, I strive to connect deeply with each person, helping them to navigate their social and emotional landscapes. It's a journey of celebrating their unique strengths, fostering self-acceptance, and empowering them to find their own voice in a world that often overlooks the beauty in difference. Together, we uncover pathways to meaningful connections, self-discovery, and a sense of belonging.
