Heather Watson-Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals on the autism spectrum to support social understanding, emotional regulation, and daily functioning. My approach is strengths-based, focusing on building skills while respecting each person’s unique way of thinking and experiencing the world. I also support parents and families in creating environments that foster growth and independence.

Gulf Shores Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Our therapists provide affirming, strengths-based mental health care for autistic individuals across the lifespan. Through therapy, we help clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, social stress, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, identity exploration, and life transitions. We focus on supporting self-understanding, building practical coping skills, and enhancing quality of life—without trying to change who you are. Using a collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming approach, our clinicians tailor treatment to each client’s goals, communication style, and needs. Therapy offers a flexible and comfortable way to engage in care from a familiar environment, reducing barriers and supporting meaningful progress.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” autism—it’s about empowering individuals to better understand themselves, strengthen resilience, and live authentically and confidently.
