Autism and Asperger's
Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
I create a welcoming and accepting environment where clients can explore their experiences, recognizing the challenges posed by a world that may undervalue their lived experiences and vital needs.
In our sessions, we collaboratively explore the specific needs of autistic clients, acknowledging the diverse ways in which neurodivergence manifests. We discuss strategies for navigating a world that may not always prioritize or understand these needs, addressing issues related to avoiding or recovering from autistic burnout, managing isolation, anxiety, etc. and regulating the nervous system.
My focus is on empowering clients to identify and express their needs, promoting self-advocacy and resilience. Together, we work on developing practical strategies for avoiding burnout, fostering safe and important social connections, and navigating overwhelming/difficult environments with more confidence and success.
The goal is to celebrate neurodiversity while enhancing my client's overall well-being living with autism.

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
I am passionate about the appropriate diagnosis and interventions for individuals with Autism. I provide therapy and evaluations for these individuals across the lifespan. Individuals with Autism are often mistaken for not experiencing emotions, which is unfortunate. These individuals experience anger, frustration, fear, sadness, and loneliness as the rest of us do. It may be expressed differently, or not at all. This can lead to feelings of isolation and often, suicidal ideation or attempts. We can work together to uncover you or your child's unique abilities and focus on them through therapy and/or diagnostic evaluation.
