Emily Crawford-Thompson Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Are you a teen or adult who has always felt different and are wondering if you might be neurodivergent/on the spectrum/Autistic? You have come to the right place. I have been certified in evidence-based gold standard assessment tools to evaluate for a clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am skilled at identifying ASD in adults including females who are skilled at masking. I do comprehensive psychological evaluations to explore the different reasons for your concerns, and also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals in counseling sessions.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
All mental health problems are rooted in the break down in our relationships. The biggest struggle for people on the autistic spectrum is the struggle of relational intelligence, yearning to connect and yet lacking the ability or relational intelligence to know how to connect. We partner with parents and their children to strengthen the relational bounds and support the family in becoming the reference point for your children to grow socially and emotionally.
