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.

Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Many children who are neurodiverse struggle with socialization, organization, and emotional regulation. They see the world differently and find it difficult to navigate the neurotypical world. These problems adversely affect their self esteem. They need to learn how to cope with their emotions and how to accept themselves as unique and special individuals while paying attention to their "growing edges."

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
I work with a lot of autistic and AuDHD adults, many of them diagnosed later in life. I’m late-diagnosed AuDHD myself. For most of my clients, understanding they’re autistic changes how they see themselves and their whole life, and it often feels a lot like a spiritual awakening. There’s grief for the years spent masking and wondering what was wrong with you. Slowly, you start to understand who you are and unmask.
I’m not a coping-skills therapist, and I don’t do assessments. Our work is depth work. We look at the parts of you that learned to mask, the burnout that comes from years of over-functioning, and the sensitivity and intensity that were called “too much.” Astrology often helps people see their wiring in a new way. For many of my clients, their own diagnosis, or their child’s, is what opens the door to this work.

Aria Loveless-Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC-Associate
I work with adults and teens with autism. I am neurodivergent-affirming - that means I take an approach of acceptance. We want to work with your brain type instead of against it. Together, we can work on reducing anxiety and working through the effects of "masking". I also love to help my autistic clients build a thriving, supportive social life that fits their needs.
