Autism and Asperger's
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Using evidence-based practices like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I collaborate with individuals across the spectrum to address core challenges and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps, I create structured, personalized behavior plans that align with each person’s unique needs and strengths. Through positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors while effectively reducing challenging ones. My approach is both compassionate and strategic, ensuring that each person receives the support they need to thrive.

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.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
