Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
As a person with Autism, I understand the weight of masking and many common sensory and social challenges, while appreciating the nuances of Autism and the diversity with which it animates in each individual. I get so much joy out of helping people grow to accept themselves and live authentically. I do not have the credentials to diagnose Autism. My work is focused primarily on self-discovery, acceptance, and exploring practical support measures. Above all else, I don't want my neurodivergent clients to feel alone.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We appreciate that while people on the spectrum might have some difficulties in life, having a different brain doesn't always have to mean something negative. A lot of the work we do is helping our clients see how their unique brains are contributing to dynamics in their relationships, and what that means moving forward. Sometimes a better understanding of the way one's mind works can help augment relationships in powerful ways.
