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.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Using evidence-based practices like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I collaborate with individuals across the spectrum to address core challenges and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps, I create structured, personalized behavior plans that align with each person’s unique needs and strengths. Through positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors while effectively reducing challenging ones. My approach is both compassionate and strategic, ensuring that each person receives the support they need to thrive.

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!

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I offer psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses for autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and I specialize in providing support to adolescents and adults. Part of this work is done through a contract at Axis for Autism who accepts Medicaid in Arizona. I can complete completely virtual assessments to people around the country, however. Therapeutically, my approach involves helping people unmask as much as possible when it is safe to reduce long-term negative health impacts of masking. Otherwise, life skills training can support people in learning the unspoken rule of social communication in the neurotypical world to develop and maintain relationships personally and professionally when masking is less safe. I work closely with individuals, families, and other professionals to create strategies that foster independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through evidence-based therapies and a compassionate, individualized approach, I help people with autism navigate their unique experiences and reach their full potential.
