Autism
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.

Autism
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
I work with a lot of autistic and AuDHD adults, many of them diagnosed later in life. I’m late-diagnosed AuDHD myself. For most of my clients, understanding they’re autistic changes how they see themselves and their whole life, and it often feels a lot like a spiritual awakening. There’s grief for the years spent masking and wondering what was wrong with you. Slowly, you start to understand who you are and unmask.
I’m not a coping-skills therapist, and I don’t do assessments. Our work is depth work. We look at the parts of you that learned to mask, the burnout that comes from years of over-functioning, and the sensitivity and intensity that were called “too much.” Astrology often helps people see their wiring in a new way. For many of my clients, their own diagnosis, or their child’s, is what opens the door to this work.
