Autism and Asperger's
Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
While I am not autistic, two of the four of us in my family are. I am certified to treat autism and I have worked with many autistic clients. As with ADHD, autism is only a "disorder"in the context of our culture. Autistic brains are structured slightly differently and function slightly differently. When autistic people are measured by neurotypical standards, it's no surprise they appear "disordered." The same happens to neurotypicals when you measure them by autistic standards. My role is one of support and education. I will help you understand how your brain works (as opposed to the neurotypical brain) and to identify the strengths you have as a result of the way your brain works. I will help you develop strategies to help with challenges you are dealing with and other potential issues such as emotional regulation and unmasking. See my website for more information.

Autism and Asperger's
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I have a passion for helping clients with neurodiversity, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

Autism and Asperger's
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.
