Autism
Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dr. Goodwin has worked with people who are diagnosed on the spectrum in both group and individual capacities. I am honored to help individuals diagnosed on the spectrum with finding their talent so they can find their purpose in life. Integral to working with this population is collaboration with school and/or other providers to assist with developing a plan that addresses all of their unique needs.

Emily Crawford-Thompson Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Are you a teen or adult who has always felt different and are wondering if you might be neurodivergent/on the spectrum/Autistic? You have come to the right place. I have been certified in evidence-based gold standard assessment tools to evaluate for a clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am skilled at identifying ASD in adults including females who are skilled at masking. I do comprehensive psychological evaluations to explore the different reasons for your concerns, and also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals in counseling sessions.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.
