Autism
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.

Autism
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.

Autism
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Autism is often misunderstood—especially in adults, and especially in people who have spent years adapting, masking, or being told they’re “too much” or “not enough” at the same time. Many of our clients come in feeling exhausted from trying to navigate social expectations, sensory overwhelm, communication differences, or environments that don’t take their needs into account. At Nour Counseling, we approach autism through a neurodiversity-affirming lens, recognizing that your brain is not the problem—the mismatch between you and your environment often is.
We offer comprehensive autism assessments that result in a detailed report with clear findings and individualized recommendations, including accommodations when appropriate. In therapy, we work with you to better understand your sensory profile, communication style, routines, and capacity—so you can build a life that actually supports you. This might include setting boundaries, reducing burnout, navigating relationships more authentically, or unlearning the pressure to constantly mask. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that shape how autism is perceived and supported, so you’re not left carrying that context alone. Our goal is to help you move through the world with more clarity, self-understanding, and permission to exist as you are.
