Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with autistic adults, including many who were diagnosed later in life after years of masking traits well enough to go unnoticed, often at real cost to their energy and sense of self. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming: autism is a difference to understand and work with, not a deficit to correct. I'm a neurotypical clinician, which I mention deliberately, since I bring structured clinical training rather than shared lived experience, an approach some clients specifically prefer. Many of my autistic clients are also professionals or scientists managing workplace demands, or first-generation Latinx adults navigating autism alongside cultural identity. Sessions are goal-oriented so you always know what we're working on together.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Comprehensive Assessment: Our experienced psychologists conduct thorough assessments to understand your specific challenges, strengths, and developmental history. We use evidence-based tools and interviews to evaluate communication skills, social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and behavioral patterns. Early diagnosis is crucial, as it allows for timely intervention and personalized treatment planning.
Personalized Treatment Plans: At South Psychology, we believe in a holistic approach. Our interdisciplinary team collaborates to create tailored treatment plans. We work closely with educators, speech therapists, and occupational therapists to address various aspects of ASD. Individualized interventions focus on communication, social skills, behavior management, and adaptive functioning.
Support for Families: ASD affects not only the individual but also their family members. We provide guidance, education, and emotional support. Our team helps families navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and build a supportive environment at home. We empower families to advocate for their loved ones and access community resources.
Lifelong Learning: ASD is a lifelong journey. We offer ongoing support, workshops, and educational materials to enhance understanding and skills. Whether your child is newly diagnosed or transitioning to adulthood, we’re committed to being a reliable partner.
