Autism and Asperger's
Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I specialize in supporting couples where one or both partners are on the autism spectrum. Communication differences, sensory needs, and social misunderstandings can create painful disconnection, even when love is strong. In therapy, I help partners better understand one another’s experiences, reduce conflict, and build bridges of empathy. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming—I focus on strengths while addressing the unique challenges autism can bring to intimacy, daily life, and relationships.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
All mental health problems are rooted in the break down in our relationships. The biggest struggle for people on the autistic spectrum is the struggle of relational intelligence, yearning to connect and yet lacking the ability or relational intelligence to know how to connect. We partner with parents and their children to strengthen the relational bounds and support the family in becoming the reference point for your children to grow socially and emotionally.

Autism and Asperger's
Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
My practice holds a significant, neurodiversity-affirming specialization in supporting individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I understand that autism is a difference in how the brain processes information, not a deficit. I help clients navigate the unique challenges of sensory processing, social communication, and intense special interests, moving beyond masking and toward authentic self-expression. Whether you are seeking a late-in-life diagnosis, or need support managing overwhelm and building meaningful connections, I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach that respects your unique strengths and needs. I also have close loved ones with high functioning autism!
