Autism therapists in Weddington, North Carolina NC
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.

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.
