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.

Logan Williamson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Along with ADHD, I have spent twenty years working with autistic people across the lifespan and across a wide range of support needs. My patients are adults, most of them professionals, and many of them are parents. I have a particular interest in late diagnosis adults who are trying to understand this for the first time, despite having lived it their whole life. As a naturally curious therapist, folks on the spectrum make my brain smile. I get to hear about the most interesting subcultures and the most unique ways of looking at the world.

Autism services at Vada Counseling honor neurodivergent ways of being and explicitly reject pathologizing or behavior-control models. We support autistic clients in navigating sensory, relational, and social needs within environments that often fail to accommodate them. Our affirming, decolonizing approach centers autonomy, communication choice, and self-advocacy.

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.
