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.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
As we increasingly better understand the range of the autism spectrum, including the various ways that ASD can manifest and be masked, work with ASD clients will work on goals that clients self-determine and at a pace that is affirming and encouraging. Neurodiversity is affirmed in my practice with ASD clients and therapeutic goals will always be collaborative and self-paced.

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.
