Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals (e.g., ADHD, Autism, SPD) and their families to better understand themselves, the strengths and uniqueness of their differently-wired brains, and the areas in which they feel stuck. I utilize a neurodiversity-affirming lens that emphasizes seeing the whole person and that integrates their preferences related to sensory processing, communication and relationships, and special interests. I value collaborating with other service providers and joining with the individual and family at any stage of the diagnostic and self-discovery process.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Autism is not something to “fix”; it is a different way of processing the world that deserves respect, not pathologizing. Drawing on my background as a special education teacher and therapist, I offer a neurodiversity‑affirming space where your sensory needs, communication style, and routines are understood rather than judged. Together, we can work on burnout, masking, and relationship stress while also honoring your strengths, stims, interests, and need for predictability and clear communication.

Heather Champion
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator
As an undergrad I had an opportunity to take a class with and work in the lab of Dr. Ted Carr. He was one of the leading researchers in the 80's and 90's int he field of Autism and Aspergers syndrome. One of my biggest regrets is not getting the letter of recommendation he offered me. In any event, I have been well trained in the foundations of ABA therapy and how to apply it to diverse populations.
