Rebekah Ruth Jones, Ed.D., LPC

A later in life autism diagnosis often comes with wave after wave of realization of what was missed and why things are the way they are. I can help you learn to surf those waves instead of getting bludgeoned against the rocks by them.

Autism
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.

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
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.

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.
