Autism
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
Katelynn Jones
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ASDCS, CCTP, CTMH, Certified Brain Coach, SSP and RRP Provider, Registered Clinical Supervisor
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Autism or is experiencing symptoms similar to autism, please consider therapy. Often individuals on the Spectrum struggle with anxiety, depression, communication, and have low self esteem/self worth. I help individuals understand the reasons they are struggling and to stop blaming themselves. It is possible to understand how you are interpreting information, successfully manage distressing situations, and develop a way to communicate effectively with those around you.

Autism
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with autistic adults, including many who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking traits well enough to go unnoticed, often at real cost to their energy and sense of self. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: autism is a difference to understand and work with, not a deficit to correct. I'm a neurotypical clinician, which I mention deliberately, since I bring structured clinical training rather than shared lived experience, an approach some clients specifically prefer. Many of my autistic clients are also professionals or scientists managing workplace demands, or first-generation Latinx adults navigating autism alongside cultural identity. Sessions are goal-oriented so you always know what we're working on together.
