Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have seen people on the spectrum for 30 years. I've run a group for parents of people on the spectrum. Each person on the spectrum has different needs. Some people want to be more social and some do not. I respect what ever their goals are and work toward positive change that brings their life more fullfilling.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
If you're autistic or exploring whether you might be, you may have spent a lot of your life feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or pressured to fit into environments that weren’t made for you. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or you’re just starting to connect the dots, I offer a space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself.
I work with adults on the spectrum to better understand their needs, manage sensory and emotional overload, and navigate relationships in a way that feels authentic. We can also look at how past experiences—especially those shaped by being different in a world that expects sameness—may still be affecting your self-esteem or mental health.
You don’t need to change who you are. Therapy is about supporting you in building a life that actually works for your brain, your body, and your values.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Autism is not something to “fix”; it is a different way of processing the world that deserves respect, not pathologizing. Drawing on my background as a special education teacher and therapist, I offer a neurodiversity‑affirming space where your sensory needs, communication style, and routines are understood rather than judged. Together, we can work on burnout, masking, and relationship stress while also honoring your strengths, stims, interests, and need for predictability and clear communication.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
If you have autism or think you might have autism, you may find that communication is hard with neurotypical people, including previous therapists. While I don't have autism (that I know of), I have worked with many clients with autism, and have received training in applying Internal Family Systems therapy for working with neurodivergent clients. I offer a therapeutic approach that is client-led and course-correcting, in case we ever have any miscommunication. Usually the work I do with autistic clients revolves around processing the ways their neurodivergence has affected their lives and relationships, and to notice the masks they put on to get by. Ultimately, what I care most about is you developing a more positive and trusting relationship with yourself.

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.

My practice primarily serve neurodivergent folks with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD and I am also a neurodivergent clinician.

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.

Alanna Preylo
Therapist, LMSW
It's a unique feeling. The deep deep confusion. You feel like your needs are always "too much". Your needs feel "too specific". The pull to follow rules is hard when you also want to feel free to be yourself. Even when you know what to do, it's when, and how??? These are just a few ways Autism impacts us. It's hard to manage when different aspects of ourselves are in conflict. I can help you find YOUR between masking and being Authentic.

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.
