Autism
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
As we increasingly better understand the range of the autism spectrum, including the various ways that ASD can manifest and be masked, work with ASD clients will work on goals that clients self-determine and at a pace that is affirming and encouraging. Neurodiversity is affirmed in my practice with ASD clients and therapeutic goals will always be collaborative and self-paced.

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.

Autism
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We appreciate that while people on the spectrum might have some difficulties in life, having a different brain doesn't always have to mean something negative. A lot of the work we do is helping our clients see how their unique brains are contributing to dynamics in their relationships, and what that means moving forward. Sometimes a better understanding of the way one's mind works can help augment relationships in powerful ways.
