Autism
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.

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, testing for adults, 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.

Autism
Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Autism is not something to “fix”; it is a different way of processing the world that deserves respect, not pathologizing. Drawing on my background as a special education teacher and therapist, I offer a neurodiversity‑affirming space where your sensory needs, communication style, and routines are understood rather than judged. Together, we can work on burnout, masking, and relationship stress while also honoring your strengths, stims, interests, and need for predictability and clear communication.

Dr. Sharese Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
I use research-based techniques to help clients improve social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts. My education, work experience, and personal experiences with autism spectrum disorder qualify me to teach coping skills for restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. Culturally-responsive and developmentally appropriate practices are utilized to help clients achieve treatment goals.
9 Years Experience
Online in Corpus Christi, TX
Corpus Christi's identity is shaped by its Gulf Coast location, its significant Hispanic population, and the large military presence of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi — creating a therapy community serving families navigating military life, trauma, and deployment alongside a broader civilian population dealing with the economic volatility of an oil-dependent regional economy. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists are in consistent demand in a city where a majority of residents are Hispanic and Spanish is central to daily life for many families. Driscoll Children's Hospital and Christus Spohn Health System provide institutional mental health resources for the Coastal Bend region. The city's outdoor culture and coastal lifestyle coexist with real mental health challenges tied to poverty, occupational instability, and environmental vulnerabilities from Gulf weather events.
