Autism and Asperger's
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 and Asperger's
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 and Asperger's
Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience working with autistic children, teens, and adults. 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.
