Rachel Minelli
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in providing comprehensive Autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I have completed over 600 Autism evaluations over the past 5 years. Evaluations generally include a clinical interview via telehealth and an in-person testing session. For adults, assessments can be complete via our telehealth platform without an in-person testing assessment. Once testing is complete, I review the results of the assessment via telehealth. I also provide a comprehensive report outlining the results of the evaluation, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations.

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.

Rosemarie Manfredi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a neuropsychologist with extensive expertise in the evaluation and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders throughout the lifespan. In my practice, I am able to do diagnostic evaluations for ages 2.5 and up, including into adulthood. I offer a range of evaluation types depending on age and needs, from a diagnostic evaluation designed to determine whether someone has an ASD to a very comprehensive evaluation that assesses the impact of ASD (and any other comorbid difficulties) on learning, development, and behavioral functioning. By providing an in-depth understanding of the person with an ASD, I can make specific and individualized recommendations for educational, career, and treatment settings. I also offer career assessments and guidance for individuals with ASDs in order to help identify careers that match their interests, skills, and abilities.
