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.

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.

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience working with autistic adults, especially late diagnosed and/or 2E. I conceptualize autism under the neurodiversity umbrella and do not view autism itself as something that needs to be "fixed", but rather understood. I strive to support my autistic clients in feeling empowered in how to best support any sensory or social-related issues they may experience. I also support clients in identifying and supporting any anxious and/or depressive symptoms that may be the result of unidentified autism in a neurotypical dominant world.

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.

South Boston is a historic Boston neighborhood whose Irish-American working-class roots now coexist with the gleaming Seaport District and a wave of young professionals, a transformation that has brought both prosperity and displacement pressure for long-established families. The neighborhood has one of Boston's most visible and organized recovery communities, shaped by the deep impact of the opioid crisis, and recovery support is woven into local civic life. Residents have access to one of the country's strongest therapy markets, with Boston's teaching hospitals and a dense network of private practitioners within easy reach.
