Autism
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with autistic adults, including many who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking traits well enough to go unnoticed, often at real cost to their energy and sense of self. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: autism is a difference to understand and work with, not a deficit to correct. I'm a neurotypical clinician, which I mention deliberately, since I bring structured clinical training rather than shared lived experience, an approach some clients specifically prefer. Many of my autistic clients are also professionals or scientists managing workplace demands, or first-generation Latinx adults navigating autism alongside cultural identity. Sessions are goal-oriented so you always know what we're working on together.

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Many of my clients who have autism appreciate my ability to communicate clearly, give options, and not take it personally if you disagree with me. I'm calm and transparent, here to appreciate and support how each person navigates their world. Many of my clients with autism appreciate my invitations to get to know their feelings- without pressure to have any certain type of experience.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
I work with teens and adults who are diagnosed or undiagnosed and needing assistance with coping with the challenges of what is considered "normal" and trying to build their version of success in the world. What works for the general population may not be effective for neurodivergent individuals. We work to build organizational, routine, and coping skill tools to minimize distress and accept individual differences as they are. Building skills in self-advocacy, school, work, and family boundaries is crucial.
