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
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Living with autism or Asperger's means experiencing the world in a way that others do not always understand. The sensory overload, the social exhaustion, the feeling of constantly trying to translate yourself for a world that was not quite built with you in mind. It can be isolating. And it can be exhausting in ways that are hard to put into words.
At CCW International, we see you. We understand that neurodivergent clients need more than a one-size-fits-all approach. They need a therapist who is curious, patient, and genuinely interested in understanding how your mind works, not trying to fit you into a mold.
We work with autistic adults and those with Asperger's profiles to navigate relationships, communication, sensory challenges, anxiety, and the emotional weight that often comes with feeling different. Our goal is never to change who you are. It is to help you thrive as exactly who you are, with the right tools, the right support, and a space where you never have to mask.
You belong here.

Autism
Sophia Pressley
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Austim and Aspergers are pervasive aspects of one's life journey. The journey can be a challenge, but stability is possible. I will teach skills and techniques that will make adjustments to behaviors that prevent the individual from having a productive journey.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.
