Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Growing up with a brother with autism, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work, with a deep understanding of the individuality, strengths, and challenges that can come with being neurodivergent. I support clients with emotional regulation, social navigation, identity development, and managing stress or overwhelm, while honoring each person’s unique communication style and needs. I also work with families and siblings, helping build understanding, connection, and supportive dynamics at home. My approach is flexible, respectful, and tailored to help each person feel seen, valued, and empowered.

Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Navigating a world that wasn't really designed with you in mind is exhausting. At The CBT Center, we work with autistic adults and teens on the things that matter most to them: managing anxiety, building social confidence, handling transitions, and just feeling a little more at ease day to day. Our approach is warm, collaborative, and adapted to how you actually think and process. No one-size-fits-all here.
