Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I provide thorough virtual autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults throughout PSYPACT participating states, helping individuals and families gain clarity about autism spectrum disorders through comprehensive neuropsychological testing. My autism assessments examine not only the core features of autism—including social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing—but also evaluate cognitive abilities, executive functioning, and commonly co-occurring conditions to provide a complete understanding of each individual's unique neurodevelopmental profile. Drawing from years of experience with autism spectrum disorders across diverse clinical settings, I create detailed assessment reports that guide families toward appropriate interventions, educational supports, and services while celebrating the individual strengths and abilities that often accompany autism.

Therapist
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.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
I offer a low-pressure, compassionate, therapy experience that many autistic clients find refreshing compared to more directive or fast-paced approaches. My work centers on you understanding yourself more deeply, building self-compassion, and navigating a world that doesn't always accommodate the way your mind works.
