Autism
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
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
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.

Autism
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.

Autism
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Many of my clients who have autism appreciate my ability to communicate clearly, give options, and not take it personally if you disagree with me. I'm calm and transparent, here to appreciate and support how each person navigates their world. Many of my clients with autism appreciate my invitations to get to know their feelings- without pressure to have any certain type of experience.
