Autism
Laurel Shortell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
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
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.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I specialize in working with autistic adults and those exploring or adjusting to a late diagnosis. Therapy can support you in unpacking years of masking, understanding sensory and emotional needs, addressing anxiety or depression, and building a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.
