Autism
Brian W. Keating
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I celebrate the unique ways people of all ages and orientations experience the world. My practice is culturally sensitive and affirming for neurodivergent identities. Many patients refer to our work in this area as "geek therapy" where pop cultural competence is crucial to understanding the world as seen through the eyes of those with a neurodivergent identity.

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.

Autism
Tricia Osterberger
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCAS
I work with folks who want to understand how neurodivergence impacts their experience of the world and the grief that may be associated. We look at what it means to try to navigate a world that wasn't built for you and how you may have been misdiagnosed in the past.

Autism
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.
