Autism
Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I began working with individuals on the autism spectrum while I was still a high school student in a career study program. I continued to work privately with families affected by ASD as well as through other entities throughout college and obtained a teaching position in a school district in South Eastern PA working with individuals with special needs, including autism, for 2 years before moving to a part-time consulting role in this school district. I also worked with a number of families, consultants, teams and other entities, including graduate university degree programs (and graduate students, graduate students seeking experience hours and supervision), boards, special interest groups, committees, and subcommittees for years, providing support and training in various forms for those affected directly and/or involved in the treatment of those affected by the neurological disorder. I assisted with legislation, advocacy, and other causes supporting the development of more advanced (from a research and God-infused perspective), in terms of the ways of treating these individuals and those surrounding these individuals with the care and support they needed.

Autism
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with autistic adults, including many who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking traits well enough to go unnoticed, often at real cost to their energy and sense of self. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: autism is a difference to understand and work with, not a deficit to correct. I'm a neurotypical clinician, which I mention deliberately, since I bring structured clinical training rather than shared lived experience, an approach some clients specifically prefer. Many of my autistic clients are also professionals or scientists managing workplace demands, or first-generation Latinx adults navigating autism alongside cultural identity. Sessions are goal-oriented so you always know what we're working on together.

Autism
Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
My practice primarily serve neurodivergent folks with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD and I am also a neurodivergent clinician. While I am not able to provide formal diagnostic assessment for autism, I have experience supporting diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic folks with deepening their self-knowledge, improving communication, improving emotional identification + understanding (alexithymia), and finding routines to support self-care. Whether you’re looking for psychoeducation, general emotional processing, or functional strategies to support healthy routines, I would be both happy and honored to support you.

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.
