Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals (e.g., ADHD, Autism, SPD) and their families to better understand themselves, the strengths and uniqueness of their differently-wired brains, and the areas in which they feel stuck. I utilize a neurodiversity-affirming lens that emphasizes seeing the whole person and that integrates their preferences related to sensory processing, communication and relationships, and special interests. I value collaborating with other service providers and joining with the individual and family at any stage of the diagnostic and self-discovery process.
