Autism
Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
I work with autistic and neurodivergent children, teens, and adults from a strengths-based, affirming perspective. Rather than viewing autism as something that needs to be “fixed,” I focus on understanding each person’s individual experience, including sensory needs, communication and relationship patterns, emotional regulation, identity, and the challenges that can come from navigating a world that may not always fit the way they experience it.
My approach incorporates art therapy, play and experiential work, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and Gestalt-informed practices, offering alternatives to therapy that relies solely on verbal processing. Together, we can explore anxiety, overwhelm, relationships, self-understanding, life transitions, and strategies for creating a life that feels more manageable and authentic.
I also support parents and families in better understanding and connecting with their neurodivergent family members while honoring each person’s individuality, autonomy, and strengths.

Dr. Iziz Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I offer psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses for autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and I specialize in providing support to adolescents and adults. Part of this work is done through a contract at Axis for Autism who accepts Medicaid in Arizona. I can complete completely virtual assessments to people around the country, however. Therapeutically, my approach involves helping people unmask as much as possible when it is safe to reduce long-term negative health impacts of masking. Otherwise, life skills training can support people in learning the unspoken rule of social communication in the neurotypical world to develop and maintain relationships personally and professionally when masking is less safe. I work closely with individuals, families, and other professionals to create strategies that foster independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through evidence-based therapies and a compassionate, individualized approach, I help people with autism navigate their unique experiences and reach their full potential.
