Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
Adrienne Meryl
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My practice is firmly rooted in neurodiversity affirmation, assisting families and individuals in navigating a neurotypical world. I understand that masking can be exhausting and clients can be themselves in sessions. I will work to help find solutions and strategies that will be less taxing and more rewarding for you and/or your child.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I provide thorough virtual autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults throughout PSYPACT participating states, helping individuals and families gain clarity about autism spectrum disorders through comprehensive neuropsychological testing. My autism assessments examine not only the core features of autism—including social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing—but also evaluate cognitive abilities, executive functioning, and commonly co-occurring conditions to provide a complete understanding of each individual's unique neurodevelopmental profile. Drawing from years of experience with autism spectrum disorders across diverse clinical settings, I create detailed assessment reports that guide families toward appropriate interventions, educational supports, and services while celebrating the individual strengths and abilities that often accompany autism.

Autism and Asperger's
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
There's a particular kind of tired that comes from spending your whole life adapting to a world that doesn't adapt back. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, that exhaustion is understood — and taken seriously. Autism is not a deficit to be corrected here. It's a different neurological experience that deserves support without the pressure to conform. For children, play therapy and sand tray offer gentle, natural ways to process emotion and build connection. For teens and adults, sessions center on identity, self-advocacy, and learning to trust your own needs. You don't need to earn your place by being easier to understand. Come as you are.
