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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.
