All mental health problems are rooted in the break down in our relationships. The biggest struggle for people on the autistic spectrum is the struggle of relational intelligence, yearning to connect and yet lacking the ability or relational intelligence to know how to connect. We partner with parents and their children to strengthen the relational bounds and support the family in becoming the reference point for your children to grow socially and emotionally.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with autistic adults and neurodivergent clients who want support navigating relationships, communication, intimacy, and sexuality in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. Many autistic people experience relationships and desire differently than what is often portrayed as typical, and therapy can be a place to explore these differences without pressure to change who you are.
In our work together, we focus on understanding your unique communication style, sensory needs, emotional experiences, and relationship expectations. This may include support around dating, long term partnerships, consent, boundaries, sexual desire, or navigating mismatched needs within a relationship. I help clients develop clearer communication strategies and greater self understanding so relationships feel less confusing and more rewarding.
I also provide a supportive space to explore sexuality and identity without judgment. This can include working through shame, anxiety, or uncertainty related to sexual expression, orientation, or gender, as well as understanding how sensory sensitivity, routine, or emotional regulation can impact intimacy. The goal is not to force a specific outcome, but to help you build relationships and a sex life that align with your values, comfort, and needs.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
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.
