Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
I started working with kids on the autism spectrum right after college and loved it so much that I went back to grad school with a focus on autism. Over time, I found my niche working with people who have high IQs and lower support needs — those who often fly under the radar but still struggle in ways others don’t see. When my son was diagnosed with autism, I shifted my professional focus entirely to ADHD for a while, but the through line has always been neurodivergence.
Early in my career, I recognized parts of myself in the people I worked with — the sensory sensitivities, challenges with transitions, and social dynamics that didn’t always make sense. At the time, I assumed those were just quirks or ADHD-related traits. It wasn’t until recently, when I started taking a closer look, that I realized I’m autistic, too. Being AuDHD has deepened my understanding of what it means to live authentically as a neurodivergent adult and has brought a new level of empathy and insight to my work with clients.

David Houston Murphy
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
I have extensive experience working with clients who are autistic. I work with autistic clients through individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and psychological evaluations. I help clients address adjusting to a neurodivergent diagnosis later in life, unmasking, as well as address autistic burnout, all from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. As an autistic psychologist, I can often share my own experiences and personally relate with my clients. With my PSYPACT license, I am able to provide online psychological evaluations for autism.

Not everyone’s brain works the same way. Some folks have a bigger emotional reaction to a fight and a slower return to baseline. Some people struggle with focus and concentration. Some people find they can be hyperfocused on a task to the detriment of their job, or might feel very overwhelmed in a crowd. For a lot of our patients, being diagnosed with is the first difficult but necessary step to change, whether it’s finding out you have ADHD, PTSD, a personality disorder or if you’re on the Autism spectrum. Learning about how your brain works can help you become more adaptive, so that you can better apply your strengths and avoid pitfalls. Our therapists love working with brains of all varieties, including yours.
