Autism
Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I provide thorough virtual autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults throughout PSYPACT participating states, helping individuals and families gain clarity about autism spectrum disorders through comprehensive neuropsychological testing. My autism assessments examine not only the core features of autism—including social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing—but also evaluate cognitive abilities, executive functioning, and commonly co-occurring conditions to provide a complete understanding of each individual's unique neurodevelopmental profile. Drawing from years of experience with autism spectrum disorders across diverse clinical settings, I create detailed assessment reports that guide families toward appropriate interventions, educational supports, and services while celebrating the individual strengths and abilities that often accompany autism.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
I offer a low-pressure, compassionate, therapy experience that many autistic clients find refreshing compared to more directive or fast-paced approaches. My work centers on you understanding yourself more deeply, building self-compassion, and navigating a world that doesn't always accommodate the way your mind works.

Autism
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I offer psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses for autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and I specialize in providing support to adolescents and adults. Part of this work is done through a contract at Axis for Autism who accepts Medicaid in Arizona. I can complete completely virtual assessments to people around the country, however. Therapeutically, my approach involves helping people unmask as much as possible when it is safe to reduce long-term negative health impacts of masking. Otherwise, life skills training can support people in learning the unspoken rule of social communication in the neurotypical world to develop and maintain relationships personally and professionally when masking is less safe. I work closely with individuals, families, and other professionals to create strategies that foster independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through evidence-based therapies and a compassionate, individualized approach, I help people with autism navigate their unique experiences and reach their full potential.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I am passionate about moving beyond a "disorder" framework to focus on neurodiversity-affirming care—helping clients navigate a world not built for them, manage anxiety, reduce burnout from masking, and build self-advocacy skills. My goal is to provide tailored, affirming support that empowers autistic children and adults to embrace their strengths and live authentically.
