Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.

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.
