Sarayu Meraki
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NARM Master Therapist
Autism recognition can bring relief, grief, anger, clarity, and confusion all at once, especially if it happens after you've spent decades of your life not knowing. Therapy that respects and works with autistic traits and functioning offers a place to slow down and listen differently — to your nervous system, your needs, your relational patterns, and the parts of you that learned to disappear in order to stay connected or safe. Therapy on the spectrum is not about fixing anything. It's about helping you understand the cost of masking, reconnecting with your agency, and building a more trusting relationship with yourself, including the autistic self you may have spent years misunderstanding, hiding, or trying to manage.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Growing up with a brother with autism, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work, with a deep understanding of the individuality, strengths, and challenges that can come with being neurodivergent. I support clients with emotional regulation, social navigation, identity development, and managing stress or overwhelm, while honoring each person’s unique communication style and needs. I also work with families and siblings, helping build understanding, connection, and supportive dynamics at home. My approach is flexible, respectful, and tailored to help each person feel seen, valued, and empowered.
