Autism
Molly Toomey
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with autistic and AuDHD folks to help them navigate daily functioning (from sensory issues to social and cognitive difficulties), relationships, identity questions, emotional and practical needs, and more. I'm neurodivergent myself, and I personally understand the realities of navigating life with ADHD—the impact it can have on your self-esteem, confidence, relationships, family, work, school, and so much more. I use my decade of experience supporting autistic and AuDHD folks as a clinician and social worker, my professional training, and my personal lived experiences to help you move from surviving to thriving as an autistic adult.

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.

Laura DeAngelo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
I have an adult child on the autism spectrum who also is a transgender female and has epilepsy and ADHD (this information shared with her permission). I received intensive parent training when she was younger and after this method showed great success with improving my daughter's social and emotional regulation and quality of life, I trained in this method as well (Relationship Development Intervention (RDI)) and worked as an RDI certified consultant for a number of years before I pursued my MSW and LCSW/LICSW. The methods I learned from my RDI training are very helpful to parents of autistic children as well as to autistic adults looking to feel more comfortable with themselves and in interacting with society - in short, to improve overall quality of life for autistic individuals and families.
