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
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach to working with autistic adults, including those who identify with the term Asperger’s. I view autism as a natural variation in how the nervous system processes the world, rather than something to be fixed or normalized. My work focuses on understanding each client’s sensory needs, communication style, emotional processing, and relational experiences.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm, and address anxiety, burnout, and masking fatigue. Therapy is paced collaboratively and centers authenticity, self-understanding, and building a life that works with—not against—how a client’s brain and body function.

Autism
Laura DeAngelo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
I have an adult child on the autism spectrum who also is a transgender female and has epilepsy and ADHD (this information shared with her permission). I received intensive parent training when she was younger and after this method showed great success with improving my daughter's social and emotional regulation and quality of life, I trained in this method as well (Relationship Development Intervention (RDI)) and worked as an RDI certified consultant for a number of years before I pursued my MSW and LCSW/LICSW. The methods I learned from my RDI training are very helpful to parents of autistic children as well as to autistic adults looking to feel more comfortable with themselves and in interacting with society - in short, to improve overall quality of life for autistic individuals and families.
