Autism and Asperger's
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.

Autism and Asperger's
Michael Keigher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I support autistic clients in navigating a world that often wasn’t built with them in mind. Therapy isn’t about “masking” — it’s about honoring your experience, building self-trust, and finding spaces where you can be fully and unapologetically yourself.
