Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Autism used to be frequently confused with intellectual disability and many adults with autism were never diagnosed because they could make eye contact, were social, and demonstrated empathy. In reality, a lot of autistic people are highly intelligent. Autism is more accurately understood as differences in communication and understanding social interactions. It may or may not involve special interests or sensory difficulties.

David Houston Murphy
Psychologist, PhD, LP, PSYPACT
I have extensive experience working with clients who are autistic. I work with autistic clients through individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and psychological evaluations. I help clients address adjusting to a neurodivergent diagnosis later in life, unmasking, as well as address autistic burnout, all from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. As an autistic psychologist, I can often share my own experiences and personally relate with my clients. With my PSYPACT license, I am able to provide online psychological evaluations for autism.
