Autism
Elemental Self Institute
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
All the clinicians at ESI are neurodivergent-affirming and some of the clinicians have lived experience of being diagnosed and navigating the world as a neurodivergent person. We particularly work with late-diagnosed adults rediscovering themselves and trying to figure out managing burnout, emotional regulation, socialization, and work options.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I offer psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses for autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and I specialize in providing support to adolescents and adults. Part of this work is done through a contract at Axis for Autism who accepts Medicaid in Arizona. I can complete completely virtual assessments to people around the country, however. Therapeutically, my approach involves helping people unmask as much as possible when it is safe to reduce long-term negative health impacts of masking. Otherwise, life skills training can support people in learning the unspoken rule of social communication in the neurotypical world to develop and maintain relationships personally and professionally when masking is less safe. I work closely with individuals, families, and other professionals to create strategies that foster independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through evidence-based therapies and a compassionate, individualized approach, I help people with autism navigate their unique experiences and reach their full potential.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
As we increasingly better understand the range of the autism spectrum, including the various ways that ASD can manifest and be masked, work with ASD clients will work on goals that clients self-determine and at a pace that is affirming and encouraging. Neurodiversity is affirmed in my practice with ASD clients and therapeutic goals will always be collaborative and self-paced.

Autism
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, capable professionals and students, often in detail‑oriented or technical roles, who have spent years feeling “different” without having language for why. You may be wondering if you are autistic, have a recent diagnosis, or have known for a long time but never had support in making sense of it. From the outside, you may meet or exceed expectations and keep up with work or school. Inside, it can feel like constant effort: managing sensory overload, masking to fit in, replaying conversations, or needing significant time alone to recover from social or emotional strain.
Many adults I see describe a lifelong sense of being out of step with others, feeling misunderstood, or being told they are “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much.” You may have built a life that works on paper but still feels exhausting to maintain. Masking, perfectionism, and trying to meet unspoken social rules can take a real toll on your nervous system and sense of self.
In our work, we approach autism and other forms of neurodivergence through a neurodiversity‑affirming, trauma‑informed lens. We look at how your brain and body naturally process the world, how past experiences have shaped your coping strategies, and what helps you feel more regulated and authentic. The focus is not on changing who you are, but on understanding your wiring, reducing the internal cost of masking, and creating a life that supports your nervous system rather than straining it. This is core to my practice, and it’s work I care about deeply.

Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many adults discover autism later in life, often after years of feeling different without understanding why. Autism affects sensory processing, social communication, and executive function in ways that can be exhausting to mask. I work with autistic adults to develop strategies that honor their neurological differences rather than forcing adaptation to neurotypical expectations. We focus on self-advocacy, sensory accommodation, and building authentic relationships while reducing the emotional toll of constant performance.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
For a lot of autistic adults, the diagnosis is the first time life makes sense from the inside. The cost of masking all day. The social rules everyone else seemed handed at birth. The tiredness that never had an obvious reason. I work with late-diagnosed adults on letting the mask down, understanding how you are genuinely wired, and making peace with the years spent performing a version of yourself that was never going to last.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Autism and Aspergers can be treated by my Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time in my care. While autism cannot be "cured" or "treated" in the sense of making it go away, hypnotherapy is increasingly recognized as a valuable supplemental tool for managing specific symptoms and challenges associated with the condition.
10 Years Experience
Online in Denver, CO
Denver's outdoor culture and apparent wellness orientation coexist with high rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use — a tension many locals recognize. The city's rapid growth and housing pressures have intensified stress for longtime residents and newcomers alike, and therapists frequently address adjustment, relationship strain, and burnout tied to the city's boom-era pace. Denver has a significant veteran population given proximity to several military installations, and therapists specializing in military trauma and PTSD are well represented. UCHealth and SCL Health provide major institutional anchors alongside Denver's large and well-established independent therapy community.
