Brian Bermack
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Before studying psychology. I earned a degree from MIT and worked as a software engineer for many years. I now wor with a wide variety of patients of different ages, educational backgrounds, and different interests. However, my background gives me a perspective that can be particularly useful when working with patients who are highly intelligent, who work in or are oriented towards engineering, science, and technology, or who think of themselves as introverted, shy, or socially awkward, anxious, including social anxiety and those who identify as having Asperger’s/mild autism (including those who don’t see it as a disorder or a problem). Please reach out today for more information.

Laurel Shortell

Since opening my private practice in 2011, I’ve maintained a focus on supporting neurodiverse adults with autism or Asperger profiles. In 2022, I developed and presented a two-hour continuing education course for a university-based social work program titled, “Working with Neurodiverse Adults and Couples.” I continue to engage in training in this area to deepen and expand my work.

Autism
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
I work with adults 18+ on the autism spectrum, including individuals who are late-diagnosed or self-identified. Many autistic adults come to therapy feeling exhausted from masking, misunderstood in relationships, or overwhelmed by sensory and social demands. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, and trauma-informed, focused on supporting emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and self-understanding—without trying to “fix” who you are. Therapy is a space to unlearn shame, reduce burnout, and build a life that better fits your needs, values, and nervous system.

Autism
Max Marrone
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand the struggle that comes with being neurodiverse. In a world that is often designed for "neurotypicals" (those without Autism, etc), neurodivergent people can often experience severe stress and a variety of challenges. EMDR can support with reducing (often misplaced) feelings of guilt & feelings of shame. Additionally I draw from DBT and other autism informed tools, to support people with working towards their goals. I don't pretend to be the "expert" on someone's life. I see myself as a "co-pilot", supporting as someone explores what things in life "fill" and "drain" their "inner battery". My experience with Autism is that it is part of what makes me awesome and also comes with great struggle in a neurotypical world. A diverse array of perspectives make the world amazing and I strive to work in partnership with people, as they help me to understand theirs.
