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
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.

Autism and Asperger's
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.
