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.

Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Many children who are neurodiverse struggle with socialization, organization, and emotional regulation. They see the world differently and find it difficult to navigate the neurotypical world. These problems adversely affect their self esteem. They need to learn how to cope with their emotions and how to accept themselves as unique and special individuals while paying attention to their "growing edges."

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!

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.
