Autism
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We appreciate that while people on the spectrum might have some difficulties in life, having a different brain doesn't always have to mean something negative. A lot of the work we do is helping our clients see how their unique brains are contributing to dynamics in their relationships, and what that means moving forward. Sometimes a better understanding of the way one's mind works can help augment relationships in powerful ways.

Autism: Navigating the Neuro-Affirming Path
For Individuals and Neuro-Distinct Couples
In a world designed for neurotypical sensory and social processing, living on the spectrum often feels like an endless exercise in translation. My practice provides a space where Autism is not viewed as a deficit to be cured, but a unique neuro-type to be understood and accommodated. Whether you are navigating your own late-diagnosed discovery or are part of a couple where one partner is neurodivergent, we work to build a life that honors your nervous system.
For the Individual: From Masking to Authenticity
Chronic "masking"—the effort to appear neurotypical—is one of the primary drivers of burnout. Together, we work to identify your unique sensory and cognitive profile so you can move from surviving to thriving.
Managing Overwhelm: We identify the specific environmental and social triggers that lead to sensory overwhelms before they escalate.
Melt Downs & Shut Downs: We develop compassionate strategies for the moments when the nervous system becomes overloaded. Whether it’s an externalized melt down or an internalized shut down, we focus on safety and recovery rather than shame.
Energy Accounting: Learning how to budget your "social and cognitive spoons" to prevent the deep exhaustion of autistic burnout.
For the Couple: Bridging the Neuro-Distinct Gap
When one partner is neurotypical and the other is autistic, the "relational system" can often fall into cycles of misunderstanding. I help couples move past the "double empathy problem" and build a shared language.
Decoding the Shut Down: Helping the neurotypical partner understand that a shut down is not a withdrawal of love, but a physiological need for regulation.
Communication Systems: Moving away from "hinting" and toward direct, explicit communication that reduces anxiety for both partners.
Shared Regulation: Creating a "sensory-safe" home environment where both partners' needs are respected without one person's comfort coming at the cost of the other's.
A Systems-Rooted Approach
Leveraging my background in Systems Theory and Attachment, I look at how the external world—workplaces, family expectations, and social constructs—impacts your neurodivergent experience. You aren't "broken"; you are a different kind of "wired," and you deserve a relationship and a life that reflects that.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.
