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.
