Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Many children who are neurodiverse struggle with socialization, organization, and emotional regulation. They see the world differently and find it difficult to navigate the neurotypical world. These problems adversely affect their self esteem. They need to learn how to cope with their emotions and how to accept themselves as unique and special individuals while paying attention to their "growing edges."

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.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Living with autism or Asperger's means experiencing the world in a way that others do not always understand. The sensory overload, the social exhaustion, the feeling of constantly trying to translate yourself for a world that was not quite built with you in mind. It can be isolating. And it can be exhausting in ways that are hard to put into words.
At CCW International, we see you. We understand that neurodivergent clients need more than a one-size-fits-all approach. They need a therapist who is curious, patient, and genuinely interested in understanding how your mind works, not trying to fit you into a mold.
We work with autistic adults and those with Asperger's profiles to navigate relationships, communication, sensory challenges, anxiety, and the emotional weight that often comes with feeling different. Our goal is never to change who you are. It is to help you thrive as exactly who you are, with the right tools, the right support, and a space where you never have to mask.
You belong here.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
When one or both partners are neurodiverse, building relationship connection requires different skills than traditional couples therapy. I help couples bridge communication gaps, navigate sensory and emotional differences, and create relationship agreements that support each partners’ needs. When you honor who each of you authentically are, you'll create a relationship that uniquely fits you.
