Autism and Asperger's
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.

Autism and Asperger's
Sydney Fowler
Counselor/Therapist, MT-BC, LPC
I work with individuals on the autism spectrum, including those previously diagnosed with Asperger’s, who may experience challenges with social interaction, sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation. Autism presents differently for each person, and I tailor therapy to meet individual communication styles, strengths, and needs. Treatment focuses on building coping strategies, increasing self-understanding, and supporting emotional well-being in daily life. I provide a structured and supportive environment where clients can develop skills and feel more confident navigating their experiences.
