Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Autism used to be frequently confused with intellectual disability and many adults with autism were never diagnosed because they could make eye contact, were social, and demonstrated empathy. In reality, a lot of autistic people are highly intelligent. Autism is more accurately understood as differences in communication and understanding social interactions. It may or may not involve special interests or sensory difficulties.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effectively applied in therapy sessions for individuals with autism to address cognitive and behavioral challenges. I often focus on identifying and modifying maladaptive thought patterns, fostering emotional regulation, and improving social skills. By emphasizing cognitive restructuring and behavioral interventions, CBT offers a structured and goal-oriented approach to help individuals with autism navigate social interactions and manage stressors more effectively.

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.

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.
