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.

Juliette Kuhlmann
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
I have experience with teens and adults on the autism spectrum, as well as AuDHDers (dually diagnosed with ADHD and Autism). My style is affirming and validating by nature, and I provide a space where we can explore your experiences with masking, feeling misunderstood, and the joys of being on the autism spectrum. I also offer adult ADHD/Autism assessments for those seeking a formal diagnosis or simply more clarity on their neurodivergent profile.

Dan Safavi
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-22108
I work with autistic and neurodivergent adults who want support with stress, relationships, emotional overwhelm, identity, masking, and navigating a world that may not always fit the way they think or experience things. My approach is respectful, collaborative, and focused on understanding your needs rather than trying to make you more "normal."
