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.

Peter Linden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Gestalt Therapist
Autism has long been understood through a medical model that frames difference as deficit and seeks to explain autistic ways of being through impairments, dysfunction, and pathology. In doing so, it often overlooks the richness, complexity, and humanity of autistic experience, while minimizing the profound impact that families, schools, workplaces, communities, and broader societal expectations have on autistic people's lives.
For many autistic adults, the deepest suffering does not arise from autism itself, but from years of being misunderstood, excluded, bullied, corrected, pathologized, or pressured to become someone they are not. Repeated experiences of rejection, sensory overwhelm, social confusion, loneliness, shame, and unmet support needs can leave lasting emotional, relational, and existential wounds. Over time, many autistic people learn to question their instincts, suppress authentic forms of expression, mask their differences, and disconnect from themselves in pursuit of acceptance and belonging.
Terms such as "Autism" and "Asperger's" have never been the focus of my work. While diagnostic labels may serve administrative, educational, or medical purposes, they tell us very little about what it is actually like to live as an autistic person. They cannot capture the experience of feeling different, longing to belong, navigating overwhelming environments, searching for meaningful connection, enduring rejection, protecting oneself through masking, or struggling to find a place in a world that often feels confusing and inhospitable. Nor can they adequately describe the creativity, depth, passion, sensitivity, wonder, and unique ways of making contact that many autistic people bring to their lives and relationships. My interest is not in the label itself, but in understanding your lived experience and supporting the conditions necessary for you to emerge more fully into the world as yourself.
As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I do not view autism as something broken that needs to be fixed, cured, or normalized. Rather, I understand autism as a distinct way of experiencing, organizing, and making contact with the world. Together, we explore your thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, sensory experiences, relational patterns, strengths, struggles, needs, and aspirations as they emerge in the present moment. We remain curious about how your life has been shaped by both support and suffering, acceptance and rejection, belonging and isolation.
Through deepening awareness, many autistic adults develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, greater trust in their experience, and increased freedom to live authentically rather than perform for others. The goal is not to become less autistic. It is to cultivate the awareness, self-support, and relational ground necessary to live more fully as yourself in a world that has too often asked otherwise.

I work with autistic and AuDHD folks to help them navigate daily functioning (from sensory issues to social and cognitive difficulties), relationships, identity questions, emotional and practical needs, and more.

I use my decade of experience supporting autistic and AuDHD folks as a clinician and social worker, my professional training, and my personal lived experiences to help you move from surviving to thriving as an autistic adult.

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.

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.

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.
