Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
Understanding your autistic identity can help you live the life you want to have. Your relationships with friends, family, and coworkers can improve. You can better understand your communication and what goes wrong when you try to connect with others. Learn about your sensory needs so they don't get in the way. Find new ways to regulate your emotions. Find ways to conserve energy so you don't get burned out.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified TFCBT, Certified Family Trauma Professional
Asperger’s Syndrome – for youth or adults, this is a challenging neurological condition. With this condition, there is usually a combination of having great capacity for remembering some or most kinds of information and then using it to logically work toward problem solving. A challenging part of Asperger’s can be that other people don’t recognize these talents and focus only on the ways that it’s difficult to be flexible sometimes and to be responsive in social situations. Sensory irritations, easily being distracted and being overly focused on pet topics can also be ways that people overlook the talents of the individual. Those with Asperger’s can learn to be defensive about being overlooked. I accept the unique struggle of having the Asperger’s condition and work supportively with youth and adults to improve interactions with others, to learn to value their unique abilities, and to validate their own emotions by learning to not be overwhelmed by them.

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
I am passionate about the appropriate diagnosis and interventions for individuals with Autism. I provide therapy and evaluations for these individuals across the lifespan. Individuals with Autism are often mistaken for not experiencing emotions, which is unfortunate. These individuals experience anger, frustration, fear, sadness, and loneliness as the rest of us do. It may be expressed differently, or not at all. This can lead to feelings of isolation and often, suicidal ideation or attempts. We can work together to uncover you or your child's unique abilities and focus on them through therapy and/or diagnostic evaluation.

Rachel Minelli
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in providing comprehensive Autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I have completed over 600 Autism evaluations over the past 5 years. Evaluations generally include a clinical interview via telehealth and an in-person testing session. For adults, assessments can be complete via our telehealth platform without an in-person testing assessment. Once testing is complete, I review the results of the assessment via telehealth. I also provide a comprehensive report outlining the results of the evaluation, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations.
