Autism therapists in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania PA
Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I began working with individuals on the autism spectrum while I was still a high school student in a career study program. I continued to work privately with families affected by ASD as well as through other entities throughout college and obtained a teaching position in a school district in South Eastern PA working with individuals with special needs, including autism, for 2 years before moving to a part-time consulting role in this school district. I also worked with a number of families, consultants, teams and other entities, including graduate university degree programs (and graduate students, graduate students seeking experience hours and supervision), boards, special interest groups, committees, and subcommittees for years, providing support and training in various forms for those affected directly and/or involved in the treatment of those affected by the neurological disorder. I assisted with legislation, advocacy, and other causes supporting the development of more advanced (from a research and God-infused perspective), in terms of the ways of treating these individuals and those surrounding these individuals with the care and support they needed.

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.

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
I am passionate about the appropriate diagnosis and interventions for individuals with Autism. I provide therapy and evaluations for these individuals across the lifespan. Individuals with Autism are often mistaken for not experiencing emotions, which is unfortunate. These individuals experience anger, frustration, fear, sadness, and loneliness as the rest of us do. It may be expressed differently, or not at all. This can lead to feelings of isolation and often, suicidal ideation or attempts. We can work together to uncover you or your child's unique abilities and focus on them through therapy and/or diagnostic evaluation.
