Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with Autism and Asperger’s in for over 50 years. I began my work with Autistic children at Duke University, where I received my Ph.D. in
Clinical Psychology. There I studied with pioneers in the field of childhood autism, including Dr. Eric Schopler, a researcher into Autism and a colleague of Dr. Bernard Rimland, an early icon in the field of autism. For over 30 years, I created and produced summer programs for Autistic children where they received one-on-one attention. I have published four books, including The Power of the Eyes, which devotes a section to eye contact in autistic children.
During my years of postdoctoral experience, I developed an expertise with children, adolescents and adults with Aspergers syndrome. These are bright individuals who can sometimes appear to function well, but who are plagued with poor judgment and limited interpersonal skills. Because they are often very bright, they can appear to be higher functioning than they are able. “A Beautiful Mind” is an extreme example of a brilliant individual who is plagued by hallucinations and
delusions. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Rachel Minelli
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in providing comprehensive Autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I have completed over 600 Autism evaluations over the past 5 years. Evaluations generally include a clinical interview via telehealth and an in-person testing session. For adults, assessments can be complete via our telehealth platform without an in-person testing assessment. Once testing is complete, I review the results of the assessment via telehealth. I also provide a comprehensive report outlining the results of the evaluation, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations.
