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.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, including Asperger’s, through a strengths-based, skill-building approach that promotes independence, emotional regulation, and social understanding. My work focuses on helping clients develop practical life skills, improve communication and relationship abilities, and navigate daily challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness. Using evidence-based strategies tailored to each individual’s needs, I emphasize structure, consistency, and personalized goal-setting to foster meaningful progress, enhance quality of life, and support long-term success across personal, social, and vocational domains.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Navigating a neurotypical world when you're on the Autism Spectrum (including Asperger's Syndrome) can present unique hurdles. I provide a compassionate and affirming environment where we can explore your experiences without judgment. Our sessions focus on fostering self-acceptance, enhancing social communication skills, managing sensory input, and developing robust coping mechanisms for stress and overwhelm. Together, we'll strengthen your capacity for connection and empower you to leverage your distinct perspective to build a fulfilling life that honors your authentic individuality.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
I work with a lot of autistic and AuDHD adults, many of them diagnosed later in life. I’m late-diagnosed AuDHD myself. For most of my clients, understanding they’re autistic changes how they see themselves and their whole life, and it often feels a lot like a spiritual awakening. There’s grief for the years spent masking and wondering what was wrong with you. Slowly, you start to understand who you are and unmask.
I’m not a coping-skills therapist, and I don’t do assessments. Our work is depth work. We look at the parts of you that learned to mask, the burnout that comes from years of over-functioning, and the sensitivity and intensity that were called “too much.” Astrology often helps people see their wiring in a new way. For many of my clients, their own diagnosis, or their child’s, is what opens the door to this work.
