Urim Recovery, LLC
Therapist, Certified Trauma Therapist, LCSW
While there are many effective ways to support families or adult autistics, it is rare that the family as a whole receives care. My approach is directed, practical and designed to help all my clients implement insights and gains attained inside the session into daily life. I draw on years of specialized and intensive training designed to restore connection and repair attachment wounds to increase closeness among all family members. Feel heard and seen and learn to work with your child to gain better clarity and confidence regarding what will work for YOUR family. If you have received a late diagnosis as a result, our work together will focus on your finding meaning and integration with your diagnosis. Autism can be experienced on so many levels--as identity, culture, with pride or also be perceived as a burden on account of misunderstandings, myths and outright discrimination and prejudice. I offer support to families and/or individuals to better understand how to wrestle with what autism means and how to integrate it into your family or personal identity notwithstanding how it might be perceived culturally, medically or otherwise.

Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I provide thorough virtual autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults throughout PSYPACT participating states, helping individuals and families gain clarity about autism spectrum disorders through comprehensive neuropsychological testing. My autism assessments examine not only the core features of autism—including social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing—but also evaluate cognitive abilities, executive functioning, and commonly co-occurring conditions to provide a complete understanding of each individual's unique neurodevelopmental profile. Drawing from years of experience with autism spectrum disorders across diverse clinical settings, I create detailed assessment reports that guide families toward appropriate interventions, educational supports, and services while celebrating the individual strengths and abilities that often accompany autism.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We appreciate that while people on the spectrum might have some difficulties in life, having a different brain doesn't always have to mean something negative. A lot of the work we do is helping our clients see how their unique brains are contributing to dynamics in their relationships, and what that means moving forward. Sometimes a better understanding of the way one's mind works can help augment relationships in powerful ways.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals (e.g., ADHD, Autism, SPD) and their families to better understand themselves, the strengths and uniqueness of their differently-wired brains, and the areas in which they feel stuck. I utilize a neurodiversity-affirming lens that emphasizes seeing the whole person and that integrates their preferences related to sensory processing, communication and relationships, and special interests. I value collaborating with other service providers and joining with the individual and family at any stage of the diagnostic and self-discovery process.

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.

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.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with autistic adults, including many who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking traits well enough to go unnoticed, often at real cost to their energy and sense of self. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: autism is a difference to understand and work with, not a deficit to correct. I'm a neurotypical clinician, which I mention deliberately, since I bring structured clinical training rather than shared lived experience, an approach some clients specifically prefer. Many of my autistic clients are also professionals or scientists managing workplace demands, or first-generation Latinx adults navigating autism alongside cultural identity. Sessions are goal-oriented so you always know what we're working on together.
