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.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a neuropsychologist with extensive expertise in the evaluation and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders throughout the lifespan. In my practice, I am able to do diagnostic evaluations for ages 2.5 and up, including into adulthood. I offer a range of evaluation types depending on age and needs, from a diagnostic evaluation designed to determine whether someone has an ASD to a very comprehensive evaluation that assesses the impact of ASD (and any other comorbid difficulties) on learning, development, and behavioral functioning. By providing an in-depth understanding of the person with an ASD, I can make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. I also offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ASDs in order to help identify careers that match their interests, skills, and abilities.
