Sophia Pressley
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Austim and Aspergers are pervasive aspects of one's life journey. The journey can be a challenge, but stability is possible. I will teach skills and techniques that will make adjustments to behaviors that prevent the individual from having a productive journey.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Autism brings unique strengths and challenges, and therapy should honor both. I specialize in working with autistic children, teens, and adults in a way that is neuroaffirming, supportive, and tailored to your needs. Together, we can explore social communication, sensory sensitivities, executive functioning, and emotional regulation while also celebrating your individuality and strengths. My approach emphasizes creating practical strategies for daily life, fostering self-understanding, and building confidence in navigating relationships, school, work, and personal goals. You deserve a space where you are respected, supported, and empowered to thrive as your authentic self.

David Houston Murphy
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
I have extensive experience working with clients who are autistic. I work with autistic clients through individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and psychological evaluations. I help clients address adjusting to a neurodivergent diagnosis later in life, unmasking, as well as address autistic burnout, all from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. As an autistic psychologist, I can often share my own experiences and personally relate with my clients. With my PSYPACT license, I am able to provide online psychological evaluations for autism.
