Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
My practice primarily serve neurodivergent folks with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD and I am also a neurodivergent clinician. While I am not able to provide formal diagnostic assessment for autism, I have experience supporting diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic folks with deepening their self-knowledge, improving communication, improving emotional identification + understanding (alexithymia), and finding routines to support self-care. Whether you’re looking for psychoeducation, general emotional processing, or functional strategies to support healthy routines, I would be both happy and honored to support you.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
If you're autistic or exploring whether you might be, you may have spent a lot of your life feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or pressured to fit into environments that weren’t made for you. Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or you’re just starting to connect the dots, I offer a space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself.
I work with adults on the spectrum to better understand their needs, manage sensory and emotional overload, and navigate relationships in a way that feels authentic. We can also look at how past experiences—especially those shaped by being different in a world that expects sameness—may still be affecting your self-esteem or mental health.
You don’t need to change who you are. Therapy is about supporting you in building a life that actually works for your brain, your body, and your values.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Maybe you just received your diagnosis. Maybe you've suspected for years and are still working up the courage to explore it. Maybe someone you trust finally said the word out loud and something in you went quiet — not because it was wrong, but because it finally felt right.
Receiving an autism diagnosis as an adult can be a lot of things at once. Relieving. Grieving. Clarifying. Disorienting. Many adults spent decades masking — carefully studying social rules, performing neurotypicality, exhausting themselves just to seem "normal" — without ever having the language for what they were doing or why it was so tiring.
At Love Let Out, we work with autistic adults who are navigating that process of understanding themselves, often for the first time. We are neurodiversity-affirming, which means we don't approach autism as something to be treated or trained away. We approach it as a different way of experiencing the world — one that comes with real strengths, real challenges, and a lifetime of experiences worth making sense of.
We can help you explore your identity, process the complicated feelings that often come with late diagnosis, work through burnout, navigate relationships and communication, and begin to unmask in spaces where it's safe to do so.
You've spent a long time adapting to everyone else. This is a place where you don't have to.
