Autism and Asperger's
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 and Asperger's
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.

Catherine Quiring
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LCPC
I have level 1 Autism (high masking, non-stereotypical/female presentation) and understand what it feels like to live as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world. I love so many things about being autistic, but it is harder to get by in this world with our limitations. I help autistic folx work with their limitations, and find ways to support yourself rather than trying to mask or change yourself. I have a host of neuroaffirming supports in addition to 1:1 therapy, such as a sensory support workbook, poetic exploration of what if feels like to be neurodivergent, assessments, and a neurosparkly hangout.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

Tampa is a rapidly growing city with a significant military presence at MacDill AFB, creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, deployment-related adjustment, and the challenges of veteran and military family life. The city's growth has brought a large influx of transplants from the Northeast and Midwest, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity shifts common among people rebuilding their lives in a new city. Tampa General Hospital and AdventHealth serve as major institutional mental health anchors, with a growing private practice community concentrated in South Tampa, Hyde Park, and the New Tampa corridor. Many Tampa therapists now offer telehealth, making it easier to serve clients spread across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
