Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Living and loving on the autism spectrum is not a problem to be fixed — but it does come with real challenges that deserve real support.
As a parent of a child on the spectrum, I bring something to this work that goes beyond clinical training: I know what it feels like to navigate a world that wasn't designed with your family in mind. I've celebrated the breakthroughs, sat with the hard days, and learned that every person on the spectrum has their own remarkable way of experiencing the world. That understanding shapes every session.
I work with individuals across the spectrum — from children and teens learning to navigate social situations and big emotions, to adults who may have gone years without answers and are finally making sense of their own story. I also work with parents who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and looking for a therapist who truly gets it.
Common areas we address include emotional regulation, anxiety (which frequently co-occurs with autism), communication and relationships, sensory challenges, and the identity questions that often come with late or recent diagnosis. Whether you're newly diagnosed, raising a child on the spectrum, or simply looking for a therapist who won't make you explain yourself from scratch — you've found a safe place here.

Alanna Preylo
Therapist, LMSW
It's a unique feeling. The deep deep confusion. You feel like your needs are always "too much". Your needs feel "too specific". The pull to follow rules is hard when you also want to feel free to be yourself. Even when you know what to do, it's when, and how??? These are just a few ways Autism impacts us. It's hard to manage when different aspects of ourselves are in conflict. I can help you find YOUR between masking and being Authentic.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with autistic adults and neurodivergent clients who want support navigating relationships, communication, intimacy, and sexuality in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. Many autistic people experience relationships and desire differently than what is often portrayed as typical, and therapy can be a place to explore these differences without pressure to change who you are.
In our work together, we focus on understanding your unique communication style, sensory needs, emotional experiences, and relationship expectations. This may include support around dating, long term partnerships, consent, boundaries, sexual desire, or navigating mismatched needs within a relationship. I help clients develop clearer communication strategies and greater self understanding so relationships feel less confusing and more rewarding.
I also provide a supportive space to explore sexuality and identity without judgment. This can include working through shame, anxiety, or uncertainty related to sexual expression, orientation, or gender, as well as understanding how sensory sensitivity, routine, or emotional regulation can impact intimacy. The goal is not to force a specific outcome, but to help you build relationships and a sex life that align with your values, comfort, and needs.

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.

Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth at the heart of the DFW Metroplex and serves a large suburban residential population navigating the particular stresses of fast-growing communities — long commutes, family pressure, and the challenges of raising children in a rapidly changing environment. The city has a large Hispanic and growing South Asian population, with increasing demand for culturally affirming and bilingual therapists. The University of Texas at Arlington provides a significant student population, and the city is served by Medical City Arlington and Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital for institutional mental health needs. Many Arlington residents also access therapy across the wider DFW metro, making the city part of a larger regional therapy ecosystem centered on Dallas and Fort Worth.
