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
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.
