Autism
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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
As we increasingly better understand the range of the autism spectrum, including the various ways that ASD can manifest and be masked, work with ASD clients will work on goals that clients self-determine and at a pace that is affirming and encouraging. Neurodiversity is affirmed in my practice with ASD clients and therapeutic goals will always be collaborative and self-paced.

Autism
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I offer psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses for autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and I specialize in providing support to adolescents and adults. Part of this work is done through a contract at Axis for Autism who accepts Medicaid in Arizona. I can complete completely virtual assessments to people around the country, however. Therapeutically, my approach involves helping people unmask as much as possible when it is safe to reduce long-term negative health impacts of masking. Otherwise, life skills training can support people in learning the unspoken rule of social communication in the neurotypical world to develop and maintain relationships personally and professionally when masking is less safe. I work closely with individuals, families, and other professionals to create strategies that foster independence, social skills, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Through evidence-based therapies and a compassionate, individualized approach, I help people with autism navigate their unique experiences and reach their full potential.
