Brave Young Minds
Psychologist
Our psychologists can diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder through comprehensive neuropsychological and psychoeducational testing to make sure we are treating exactly the symptoms you're struggling with the most. If you already have a diagnosis you're confident in, we can support you, your child, or your teen through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and social skills training.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
I work with autistic adults, including those who were diagnosed later in life or who have come to recognize autistic traits in themselves without a formal diagnosis. Therapy can provide space to explore masking, relationships, sensory and emotional needs, identity, burnout, communication, and the experience of moving through a world often designed around neurotypical expectations. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and focused on understanding how your brain works, identifying what genuinely supports you, and building a life that fits you rather than teaching you to appear more neurotypical.
