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
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
Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
I help the partners of people with high-functioning autism (formerly Asperger's syndrome) gain clarity and more satisfaction in their relationships. Neurodiversity can shape the way people experience communication, connection, and emotional expression. In relationships where one or both partners are on the autism spectrum, these differences can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, frustration, or a sense of disconnection, despite a genuine desire for closeness.
Together, we’ll work to better understand these patterns through a compassionate, non-pathologizing lens. Rather than viewing differences as problems to fix, we’ll explore them as meaningful variations in how people process and express their experiences.
This work may include clarifying communication styles, identifying unmet needs, and developing new ways of connecting that feel more accessible and supportive for both people. The goal is to foster greater mutual understanding, reduce friction, and strengthen the relationship while honoring each person’s way of being.

Autism
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.

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.
