Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
My approach to Autism is deeply personal and neuro-affirming, focusing on the reclamation of self after a lifetime of masking. We create a sensory-safe environment where your unique cognitive geography is celebrated rather than pathologized. Together, we navigate the "unmasking" process to ensure your social and professional lives align with your authentic needs.

Christine Clark, PsyD
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
For the past 10 years, I have worked as a school psychologist and have experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum. I like to take a “hands-on“ approach to problem-solving, role-playing through social situations, and building a “tool kit“ of coping skills and techniques that can be used when interacting with others and facing life’s challenges.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I offer psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses for autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and I specialize in providing support to adolescents and adults. Part of this work is done through a contract at Axis for Autism who accepts Medicaid in Arizona. I can complete completely virtual assessments to people around the country, however. Therapeutically, my approach involves helping people unmask as much as possible when it is safe to reduce long-term negative health impacts of masking. Otherwise, life skills training can support people in learning the unspoken rule of social communication in the neurotypical world to develop and maintain relationships personally and professionally when masking is less safe. I work closely with individuals, families, and other professionals to create strategies that foster independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through evidence-based therapies and a compassionate, individualized approach, I help people with autism navigate their unique experiences and reach their full potential.

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.
