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.

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.

El Paso's location directly on the US-Mexico border defines its mental health landscape, with a predominantly Hispanic population spanning both sides and bilingual Spanish-English therapists at the center of the city's therapy community. Fort Bliss — one of the largest Army installations in the country — creates strong demand for therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and the challenges faced by active-duty families. The 2019 mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso had a profound impact on the city's collective mental health, and therapists specializing in community trauma and grief have played an ongoing role in recovery. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso and University Medical Center of El Paso provide institutional mental health resources for the broader Borderland region.
