David Houston Murphy
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
I have extensive experience working with clients who are autistic. I work with autistic clients through individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and psychological evaluations. I help clients address adjusting to a neurodivergent diagnosis later in life, unmasking, as well as address autistic burnout, all from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. As an autistic psychologist, I can often share my own experiences and personally relate with my clients. With my PSYPACT license, I am able to provide online psychological evaluations for autism.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I began working with individuals on the autism spectrum while I was still a high school student in a career study program. I continued to work privately with families affected by ASD as well as through other entities throughout college and obtained a teaching position in a school district in South Eastern PA working with individuals with special needs, including autism, for 2 years before moving to a part-time consulting role in this school district. I also worked with a number of families, consultants, teams and other entities, including graduate university degree programs (and graduate students, graduate students seeking experience hours and supervision), boards, special interest groups, committees, and subcommittees for years, providing support and training in various forms for those affected directly and/or involved in the treatment of those affected by the neurological disorder. I assisted with legislation, advocacy, and other causes supporting the development of more advanced (from a research and God-infused perspective), in terms of the ways of treating these individuals and those surrounding these individuals with the care and support they needed.

Autism
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.

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.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I have extensive expertise working with children, adolescents, and adults diagnosed with autism. My approach includes comprehensive autism evaluations using evidence-based tools like the ADOS-2, while also incorporating assessment tools designed to address the unique diagnostic needs of girls, women, and adults. I have specialized training in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)—a developmental, play-based behavioral therapy for young children with autism—and hold PEERS® certification from the UCLA PEERS® Clinic, focusing on social skills training. In addition to diagnostic assessments, I provide personalized therapy to address co-occurring mental health challenges commonly experienced by autistic individuals. I collaborate closely with parents to build strategies for improving skills and addressing challenges at home. My expertise in autism-focused therapy and the mental health needs of autistic individuals has been recognized at national platforms, including presentations at the American Psychological Association Convention and Kennedy Krieger Institute.

Dana Wiesenfeld
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PA-C
Feeling like the world was not built for you? Maybe it wasn’t but shouldn’t it be? Why are we supposed to acclimate to neurotypical people if we are the ones with challenges? What if we did not have to put on our normal person mask everyday? What if someone told you, being you is actually a good thing? That is what we do!

Iris Bowen

My practice primarily serve neurodivergent folks with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD and I am also a neurodivergent clinician. While I am not able to provide formal diagnostic assessment for autism, I have experience supporting diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic folks with deepening their self-knowledge, improving communication, improving emotional identification + understanding (alexithymia), and finding routines to support self-care. Whether you’re looking for psychoeducation, general emotional processing, or functional strategies to support healthy routines, I would be both happy and honored to support you.

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.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
