Molly Toomey
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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'm neurodivergent myself, and I personally understand the realities of navigating life with ADHD—the impact it can have on your self-esteem, confidence, relationships, family, work, school, and so much 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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.

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.

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.

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.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a neuropsychologist with extensive expertise in the evaluation and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders throughout the lifespan. In my practice, I am able to do diagnostic evaluations for ages 2.5 and up, including into adulthood. I offer a range of evaluation types depending on age and needs, from a diagnostic evaluation designed to determine whether someone has an ASD to a very comprehensive evaluation that assesses the impact of ASD (and any other comorbid difficulties) on learning, development, and behavioral functioning. By providing an in-depth understanding of the person with an ASD, I can make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. I also offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ASDs in order to help identify careers that match their interests, skills, and abilities.

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.
