Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Navigating a neurotypical world when you're on the Autism Spectrum (including Asperger's Syndrome) can present unique hurdles. I provide a compassionate and affirming environment where we can explore your experiences without judgment. Our sessions focus on fostering self-acceptance, enhancing social communication skills, managing sensory input, and developing robust coping mechanisms for stress and overwhelm. Together, we'll strengthen your capacity for connection and empower you to leverage your distinct perspective to build a fulfilling life that honors your authentic individuality.

Autism and Asperger's
CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Navigating a world that wasn't really designed with you in mind is exhausting. At The CBT Center, we work with autistic adults and teens on the things that matter most to them: managing anxiety, building social confidence, handling transitions, and just feeling a little more at ease day to day. Our approach is warm, collaborative, and adapted to how you actually think and process. No one-size-fits-all here.

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.
