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.

Rachel Minelli
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in providing comprehensive Autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I have completed over 600 Autism evaluations over the past 5 years. Evaluations generally include a clinical interview via telehealth and an in-person testing session. For adults, assessments can be complete via our telehealth platform without an in-person testing assessment. Once testing is complete, I review the results of the assessment via telehealth. I also provide a comprehensive report outlining the results of the evaluation, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Through evidence-based interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I have worked closely with individuals across the spectrum to address core deficits and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable components, I implement structured and individualized behavior plans tailored to each person's specific needs and strengths. Utilizing positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I foster the acquisition of new skills and behaviors while reducing challenging behaviors.
