Autism and Asperger's
Darryl G. Carter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I specialize in supporting individuals with autism and Asperger’s by providing a structured, strengths-based approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. I work with adolescents and adults to build social communication skills, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical strategies for navigating school, work, and relationships. Using evidence-based techniques and clear, supportive guidance, I help clients increase independence, confidence, and self-awareness. My goal is to create a safe, understanding environment where individuals can thrive while embracing their strengths and developing tools for long-term success.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
I am comfortable diagnosing and treating autistic individuals with medication and psychotherapy, or a combination of both. I specialize in EMDR and other trauma-informed modalities from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Let's work together to help you reclaim some executive function! There is no medication to "cure" autism, because a cure is not what autistic folks need. I medicate symptoms if needed and work on the difficulty of living in a world that was not built for you.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dr. Goodwin has worked with people who are diagnosed on the spectrum in both group and individual capacities. I am honored to help individuals diagnosed on the spectrum with finding their talent so they can find their purpose in life. Integral to working with this population is collaboration with school and/or other providers to assist with developing a plan that addresses all of their unique needs.

Gulf Shores Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Our therapists provide affirming, strengths-based mental health care for autistic individuals across the lifespan. Through therapy, we help clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, social stress, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, identity exploration, and life transitions. We focus on supporting self-understanding, building practical coping skills, and enhancing quality of life—without trying to change who you are. Using a collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming approach, our clinicians tailor treatment to each client’s goals, communication style, and needs. Therapy offers a flexible and comfortable way to engage in care from a familiar environment, reducing barriers and supporting meaningful progress.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” autism—it’s about empowering individuals to better understand themselves, strengthen resilience, and live authentically and confidently.

Julien Moe
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.
