Autism
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with autistic adults, including many who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking traits well enough to go unnoticed, often at real cost to their energy and sense of self. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: autism is a difference to understand and work with, not a deficit to correct. I'm a neurotypical clinician, which I mention deliberately, since I bring structured clinical training rather than shared lived experience, an approach some clients specifically prefer. Many of my autistic clients are also professionals or scientists managing workplace demands, or first-generation Latinx adults navigating autism alongside cultural identity. Sessions are goal-oriented so you always know what we're working on together.

Autism
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We appreciate that while people on the spectrum might have some difficulties in life, having a different brain doesn't always have to mean something negative. A lot of the work we do is helping our clients see how their unique brains are contributing to dynamics in their relationships, and what that means moving forward. Sometimes a better understanding of the way one's mind works can help augment relationships in powerful ways.

Autism
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.

Online in Billings, MT
Billings is Montana's largest city and functions as the primary regional hub for healthcare, commerce, and services across a vast area of eastern Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas—a region that includes significant Native American populations from multiple reservations, agricultural and ranching communities, and energy industry workers. Billings Clinic and St. Vincent Healthcare provide behavioral health services and serve as referral destinations for communities hundreds of miles away, making Billings uniquely important to the mental health landscape of the entire northern Great Plains. The city's role as a regional hub means that the most challenging and underserved mental health needs in the region—including those of reservation communities, ranch workers, and rural families—flow through Billings. Common therapy concerns include rural isolation, agricultural and energy industry stress, Indigenous community mental health, trauma, and the challenges of a relatively small city carrying the mental health burden of an enormous and underserved geographic region.
