Eve Palmatier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
For folks who are on the autism spectrum to thrive, its important that they're supported in understanding and celebrating the particular ways their brains function. How someone experiences the sensory facets of our world, the ways they process and categorize information, and what experiences are soothing and fulfilling need to be respected and understood. When you are able to embrace the particular ways you engage with the world, and learn what lifestyle allows you to thrive--you may find a reduction in burnout and anxiety. It is important to me that my clients feel celebrated for who they are, and know that I'm not approaching being on the Spectrum as an inherent flaw.

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.

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.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
My approach to Autism is deeply personal and neuro-affirming, focusing on the reclamation of self after a lifetime of masking. We create a sensory-safe environment where your unique cognitive geography is celebrated rather than pathologized. Together, we navigate the "unmasking" process to ensure your social and professional lives align with your authentic needs.
