Autism and Asperger's
Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience working with autistic children, teens, and adults. I conceptualize autism under the neurodiversity umbrella and do not view autism itself as something that needs to be "fixed", but rather understood. I strive to support my autistic clients in feeling empowered in how to best support any sensory or social-related issues they may experience. I also support clients in identifying and supporting any anxious and/or depressive symptoms that may be the result of unidentified autism in a neurotypical dominant world.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

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.
