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.

Autism
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.

I have been certified in evidence-based gold standard assessment tools to evaluate for a clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

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.
