Dr. Pamela Collman
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
About a year ago the prevalence of autism was estimated to be 1/132, but now may be 1/68. Many who are diagnosed as being on the spectrum have unique gifts or talents, but need much intervention in social emotional development and communication. I evaluate for SHYNESS and temperament too.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience working with autistic children, teens, and adults. I conceptualize autism under the neurodiversity umbrella and do not view autism itself as something that needs to be "fixed", but rather understood. I strive to support my autistic clients in feeling empowered in how to best support any sensory or social-related issues they may experience. I also support clients in identifying and supporting any anxious and/or depressive symptoms that may be the result of unidentified autism in a neurotypical dominant world.
