Autism and Asperger's
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 and Asperger's
Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
I work with adults 18+ on the autism spectrum, including individuals who are late-diagnosed or self-identified. Many autistic adults come to therapy feeling exhausted from masking, misunderstood in relationships, or overwhelmed by sensory and social demands. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, and trauma-informed, focused on supporting emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and self-understanding—without trying to “fix” who you are. Therapy is a space to unlearn shame, reduce burnout, and build a life that better fits your needs, values, and nervous system.
