Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
Whether or not you've been diagnosed with Autism, you've probably felt different your entire life. Struggling to fit in and regulate your emotions means that you've developed a mask to cover your true self. Being Autistic means that you are extra sensitive in every sense of the word, in a world that feels like the volume is turned all the way up. I offer Neurodivergent therapy aimed at helping you learn to take off your mask and becoming your authentic self. This involves learning about your strengths and challenges and how to navigate tricky situations without compromising your needs for the comfort of others.

Autism
Heart Bonds Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Many adults discover later in life that they may be on the autism spectrum — often after years of feeling different, misunderstood, socially exhausted, or chronically overwhelmed. A late diagnosis (or even just exploring the possibility) can bring both relief and a lot of complex emotions. We provide a respectful, neurodiversity-affirming space to process that experience while helping you better understand your strengths, sensory needs, communication style, and energy limits. Therapy may focus on reducing burnout, improving relationships, building self-advocacy skills, and developing practical strategies that work with your brain — not against it.

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.

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.
