Autism and Asperger's
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping neurodivergent folks, helping them unmask and manage their social world and relationships - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Early research on autism did not account for neurodivergence in those assigned female at birth, as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Many of my clients went undiagnosed until adulthood and are finally starting to understand some of the upsetting social interactions they've experienced, the rejection from peers, and the consistent messaging from society that something is inherently wrong with them.

Mind Body Connections
Counselor/Therapist
We embrace the unique identity of the person identify on the ASD spectrum. Much of this work is on identifying the way in which this identity manifests in the clients life. If there are ways to better manage the system then we help the client to understand the tools they can use.

Autism and Asperger's
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.
