Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I have experience working with autistic adults, especially late diagnosed and/or 2E. I conceptualize autism under the neurodiversity umbrella and do not view autism itself as something that needs to be "fixed", but rather understood. I strive to support my autistic clients in feeling empowered in how to best support any sensory or social-related issues they may experience. I also support clients in identifying and supporting any anxious and/or depressive symptoms that may be the result of unidentified autism in a neurotypical dominant world.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
I work with many neurodivergent clients of all ages and many with autism and Asperger traits. I am aware of the social and "fitting in" difficulties and how the school system may or may not work with these clients at times. Self-esteem can often be a huge aspect of having a form of autism and it's very important as a therapist to understand what a client is trying to convey and what one is feeling in their own subjective way.
