Autism and Asperger's
Heather Champion
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator
As an undergrad I had an opportunity to take a class with and work in the lab of Dr. Ted Carr. He was one of the leading researchers in the 80's and 90's int he field of Autism and Aspergers syndrome. One of my biggest regrets is not getting the letter of recommendation he offered me. In any event, I have been well trained in the foundations of ABA therapy and how to apply it to diverse populations.

Autism and Asperger's
Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
So much of the advice autistic people receive is about how to seem less autistic; how to make eye contact, how to mask discomfort, how to perform neurotypicality convincingly enough to get through the day. Therapy shouldn't be more of that. I'm Sarah, a neurodivergent therapist myself who works with autistic adults who are tired of contorting themselves to fit a world that rarely fits back. My approach is somatic and body-informed, which means we're not putting all the pressure on verbal processing. We work with your whole nervous system, at your pace, in a way that actually respects how you're wired. KAP can also be a powerful option for autistic clients carrying deep burnout, identity-based pain, or trauma that's been hard to reach. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.

Autism and Asperger's
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.
