Autism and Asperger's
Jessica Anderson, PsyD

Navigating social situations, communication, and sensory experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming or confusing. Many teens and young adults also feel pressure to “fit in” while trying to stay true to themselves. I provide a supportive space to better understand your experiences, build social and coping skills, and strengthen self-acceptance. Together, we focus on helping you feel more confident, comfortable, and authentic in your daily life.

Autism and Asperger's
Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.

Autism and Asperger's
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, capable professionals and students, often in detail‑oriented or technical roles, who have spent years feeling “different” without having language for why. You may be wondering if you are autistic, have a recent diagnosis, or have known for a long time but never had support in making sense of it. From the outside, you may meet or exceed expectations and keep up with work or school. Inside, it can feel like constant effort: managing sensory overload, masking to fit in, replaying conversations, or needing significant time alone to recover from social or emotional strain.
Many adults I see describe a lifelong sense of being out of step with others, feeling misunderstood, or being told they are “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much.” You may have built a life that works on paper but still feels exhausting to maintain. Masking, perfectionism, and trying to meet unspoken social rules can take a real toll on your nervous system and sense of self.
In our work, we approach autism and other forms of neurodivergence through a neurodiversity‑affirming, trauma‑informed lens. We look at how your brain and body naturally process the world, how past experiences have shaped your coping strategies, and what helps you feel more regulated and authentic. The focus is not on changing who you are, but on understanding your wiring, reducing the internal cost of masking, and creating a life that supports your nervous system rather than straining it. This is core to my practice, and it’s work I care about deeply.

Autism and Asperger's
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.
