Autism
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.

Autism
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach to working with autistic adults, including those who identify with the term Asperger’s. I view autism as a natural variation in how the nervous system processes the world, rather than something to be fixed or normalized. My work focuses on understanding each client’s sensory needs, communication style, emotional processing, and relational experiences.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm, and address anxiety, burnout, and masking fatigue. Therapy is paced collaboratively and centers authenticity, self-understanding, and building a life that works with—not against—how a client’s brain and body function.

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.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dr. Goodwin has worked with people who are diagnosed on the spectrum in both group and individual capacities. I am honored to help individuals diagnosed on the spectrum with finding their talent so they can find their purpose in life.
