Autism and Asperger's
Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.

Autism and Asperger's
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!

Autism and Asperger's
Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
As an autistic therapist myself, I know what it's like to live in a world not designed for us. Masking our sensory sensitivities and emotional overwhelm can leave us depleted and unable to function. I can help you manage executive dysfunction, understand your sensory profile, better manage emotions, and learn to unmask and get to know your true, authentic self. I value your passions, quirks, and individuality, and I focus on unveiling your strengths and helping you use them to your advantage to live a more fulfilling life.
