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.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
If you have autism or think you might have autism, you may find that communication is hard with neurotypical people, including previous therapists. While I don't have autism (that I know of), I have worked with many clients with autism, and have received training in applying Internal Family Systems therapy for working with neurodivergent clients. I offer a therapeutic approach that is client-led and course-correcting, in case we ever have any miscommunication. Usually the work I do with autistic clients revolves around processing the ways their neurodivergence has affected their lives and relationships, and to notice the masks they put on to get by. Ultimately, what I care most about is you developing a more positive and trusting relationship with yourself.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have felt out of sync with the crowd—too quiet, too intense, too different. But here, being “different” is not a barrier—it’s your gift. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a place of acceptance, insight, and purpose. We understand how your mind’s unique rhythms, perceptions, and sensitivities shape your life and interactions. Rather than trying to make you fit a mold, we help you lean into your strengths, build bridges in relationships, and discover how being “outside” can be the vantage point from which you lead, connect, and thrive.

Dr. Sharese Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
I use research-based techniques to help clients improve social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts. My education, work experience, and personal experiences with autism spectrum disorder qualify me to teach coping skills for restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. Culturally-responsive and developmentally appropriate practices are utilized to help clients achieve treatment goals.

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.

San Antonio is one of the largest military cities in the country, home to Fort Sam Houston, Joint Base San Antonio–Lackland, and Randolph AFB, generating exceptionally strong demand for therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, and the challenges of military family life including frequent relocation and deployment stress. The city has a majority Hispanic population, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists and culturally grounded care for Latino families are consistently in high demand. University Health and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System provide major institutional mental health services alongside a large private practice community. San Antonio's strong Catholic faith tradition also means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based care.
