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!

Kim Salinger
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MBA, MSN, PMHNP, FNP, AHN
Many adults go through life feeling different without fully understanding why. I provide thoughtful, respectful assessments for autism spectrum traits in adults, including those historically described as Asperger’s, with a focus on clarity, self-understanding, and validation. Care is integrative and individualized, with attention to mental health, medical contributors, sensory processing, and nervous system regulation. Ongoing visits focus on support, education, and guidance to help individuals better understand their needs, strengths, and challenges while building a life that feels more sustainable and aligned.
