Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Autism and Aspergers can be treated by my Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time in my care. While autism cannot be "cured" or "treated" in the sense of making it go away, hypnotherapy is increasingly recognized as a valuable supplemental tool for managing specific symptoms and challenges associated with the condition.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I have extensive expertise working with children, adolescents, and adults diagnosed with autism. My approach includes comprehensive autism evaluations using evidence-based tools like the ADOS-2, while also incorporating assessment tools designed to address the unique diagnostic needs of girls, women, and adults. I have specialized training in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)—a developmental, play-based behavioral therapy for young children with autism—and hold PEERS® certification from the UCLA PEERS® Clinic, focusing on social skills training. In addition to diagnostic assessments, I provide personalized therapy to address co-occurring mental health challenges commonly experienced by autistic individuals. I collaborate closely with parents to build strategies for improving skills and addressing challenges at home. My expertise in autism-focused therapy and the mental health needs of autistic individuals has been recognized at national platforms, including presentations at the American Psychological Association Convention and Kennedy Krieger Institute.

Emilia Eva Mikrut
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapist with several years of experience working with adult Autistic clients. I typically see folks who identity as Level 1 or low-support-needs ASD, as well as ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence. In my practice, I often work with Autistic folks on issues such as challenging internalized shame and a a sense of not belonging; building more "real" and affirming social relationships; experimenting with unmasking; managing overstimulation, sensory needs, and burnout; and relieving mood and anxiety symptoms. My goal is try to help clients navigate the innate tensions between embracing Autistic authenticity while safely living in a world largely built for neurotypicals. On a personal level, I feel called to this work in part due to my own experiences with neurodivergence.

Peter Linden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Gestalt Therapist
The medical model defines autism by what is supposedly lacking across all domains of existence. We cannot be empathetic, creative, imaginative, curious, aware, loving, connected, or attuned to other people. Our movements, gestures, special interests, need for certainty and concrete communication, and adaptations to overstimulating environments are used to define and control us. Through this paradigm, the autistic person is replaced by a persona seeking integration into a world that demands robotic subservience, only to encounter rejection, scorn, vitriol, and hate.
Autistic suffering is treated as evidence that autism itself requires “fixing.” Sensory overload-induced shutdowns and meltdowns, exhaustion, uncertainty, loneliness, sorrow, emptiness, and the need for support do not exist in isolation. Rather, these experiences are part of existence and cannot be ignored. This is where curiosity comes in.
Curiosity involves being with whatever is emergent, rather than endless intellectual and external analysis. Together, we will explore how you experience your body, sensations, flow, interests, connectedness to the earth, other people, time, and spaces in the present moment. Meltdowns and other adaptations are no longer reduced to “behaviors.” They remain a part of your ongoing humanity. Your story never ends. It is eternal.
Healing does not require taking on personas at the expense of your autistic identity. You are you. And I am I. Expectations are returned to the pit of sorrow and replaced with curiosity and love. Finally, I can just be.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I am autistic and I work with many autistic and AuDHD clients. In our work together, I focus on helping you understand your nervous system, sensory needs, communication style, burnout, masking, and relationships. Many autistic people have spent their lives feeling misunderstood or like they are “too much” or “not enough” at the same time. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to mask or pretend to be someone you’re not. Together we work on building a life that actually works for your brain and your body, not one that forces you to constantly push past your limits.

Jamaica is a major Queens hub with deep Caribbean, African-American, South Asian, and Latino communities, a busy transit and courthouse district, and a large workforce connected to nearby JFK Airport. Mental health needs reflect immigrant family dynamics, economic pressure, and the cultural stigma that can surround therapy in some communities, with demand for practitioners who understand Caribbean and South Asian experiences. Residents draw on Queens' community health networks and the wider New York City therapy market.
