Autism
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach to working with autistic adults, including those who identify with the term Asperger’s. I view autism as a natural variation in how the nervous system processes the world, rather than something to be fixed or normalized. My work focuses on understanding each client’s sensory needs, communication style, emotional processing, and relational experiences.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, reduce overwhelm, and address anxiety, burnout, and masking fatigue. Therapy is paced collaboratively and centers authenticity, self-understanding, and building a life that works with—not against—how a client’s brain and body function.

Autism
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have seen people on the spectrum for 30 years. I've run a group for parents of people on the spectrum. Each person on the spectrum has different needs. Some people want to be more social and some do not. I respect what ever their goals are and work toward positive change that brings their life more fullfilling.

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.
