Autism
Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

Hailey Williford
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I enjoy working with autistic clients to provide a neurodivergent-affirming treatment. I love working with autistic clients interested in working on: unmasking, autistic burnout, shame-free daily routines, supporting emotional regulation needs, building connection/community, life balance, etc.

Janie Venturina
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some of the best work I do happens with autistic teens who need nothing explained to them about the diagnosis and a great deal of help with everything around it. They are bright, usually in general education classes, and they are lonely. Friendships have gone wrong in ways nobody walked them through. They mask all day at school and come home with nothing left, and by high school that exhaustion has often turned into anxiety or low mood. I do not work on making a teen seem less autistic. We work on the isolation, the self-criticism, and the social situations they choose to take on, at a pace that respects how much energy each one costs.
