Autism
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my therapeutic approach, autism is embraced as a profound spiritual journey towards awakening to one's authentic self and the process of unmasking. This perspective honors the unique way autistic individuals experience the world, focusing on the deep self-discovery that comes from navigating life with an innate depth of feeling, heightened sensitivity, and a distinct way of processing experiences. By viewing autism through this lens, we celebrate the strengths, creativity, and insights that being autistic brings, shifting away from pathologizing to understanding autism as an integral part of one's identity and spiritual path.
The core of our work together is to empower autistic individuals to live authentically, leveraging their unique gifts to lead a life of fulfillment and connection. This journey involves developing strategies to manage sensory sensitivities, enhance communication, and foster meaningful relationships, all while reducing feelings of overwhelm and self-criticism. Central to this process is the unmasking of one’s true identity, shedding societal expectations and labels to reveal the authentic self beneath.
Seeing autism as a spiritual journey of awakening and unmasking allows us to support individuals in embracing their neurodiversity as a source of healing, strength, and profound personal growth. Together, we explore the richness of the autistic experience, fostering a deep sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and joy in the journey towards self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. This approach not only affirms the value and beauty of the autistic way of being but also highlights the importance of celebrating each individual's journey towards embracing their authentic self.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Living in a neuro-typical world as a neuro-divergent individual contributes to unique challenges, such as masking, increased risk for exploitation and increased mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression. I support neuro-divergent clients recognize, access and embrace their strengths, empowering one to self-advocate and find success in various life areas.

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.
