Autism and Asperger's
Gulf Shores Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Our therapists provide affirming, strengths-based mental health care for autistic individuals across the lifespan. Through therapy, we help clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, social stress, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, identity exploration, and life transitions. We focus on supporting self-understanding, building practical coping skills, and enhancing quality of life—without trying to change who you are. Using a collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming approach, our clinicians tailor treatment to each client’s goals, communication style, and needs. Therapy offers a flexible and comfortable way to engage in care from a familiar environment, reducing barriers and supporting meaningful progress.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” autism—it’s about empowering individuals to better understand themselves, strengthen resilience, and live authentically and confidently.

Autism and Asperger's
Dana Wiesenfeld
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PA-C
Feeling like the world was not built for you? Maybe it wasn’t but shouldn’t it be? Why are we supposed to acclimate to neurotypical people if we are the ones with challenges? What if we did not have to put on our normal person mask everyday? What if someone told you, being you is actually a good thing? That is what we do!

Autism and Asperger's
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Using evidence-based practices like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I collaborate with individuals across the spectrum to address core challenges and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps, I create structured, personalized behavior plans that align with each person’s unique needs and strengths. Through positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors while effectively reducing challenging ones. My approach is both compassionate and strategic, ensuring that each person receives the support they need to thrive.
