Are you a teen or adult who has always felt different and are wondering if you might be neurodivergent/on the spectrum/Autistic? You have come to the right place. I have been certified in evidence-based gold standard assessment tools to evaluate for a clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am skilled at identifying ASD in adults including females who are skilled at masking. I do comprehensive psychological evaluations to explore the different reasons for your concerns, and also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals in counseling sessions.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Many autistic adults struggle to have connections with others in ways they would like. Moreover, social situations may feel downright confusing and anxiety-provoking and intimate relationships may seem impossible. In the professional sphere, you may struggle to keep steady employment, often finding that your ways of communicating with co-workers and bosses make it hard to feel you belong or that your talents are appreciated. I take an affirming, autism-informed approach in helping autistic adults to better appreciate themselves and thrive in their relationships and life pursuits.

Katelynn Jones
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ASDCS, CCTP, CTMH, Certified Brain Coach, SSP and RRP Provider, Registered Clinical Supervisor
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Autism or is experiencing symptoms similar to autism, please consider therapy. Often individuals on the Spectrum struggle with anxiety, depression, communication, and have low self esteem/self worth. I help individuals understand the reasons they are struggling and to stop blaming themselves. It is possible to understand how you are interpreting information, successfully manage distressing situations, and develop a way to communicate effectively with those around you.
