TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My practice will diagnose and treat the 5 variations of autism including Asperger's Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Kanner's Syndrome, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder. I believe these problems are primarily a result of problems in the brain. The brain is not working normally, and hence neither is the mind. My treatment involves mind/brain approaches. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

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!

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.

Jennifer Canu
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.
