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.

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.

Many of my clients who have autism appreciate my ability to communicate clearly, give options, and not take it personally if you disagree with me. I'm calm and transparent, here to appreciate and support how each person navigates their world.
