Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Autism spectrum has really gone through a renaissance recently in terms of our understanding of it beyond white, middle-class, boys. I bring lived experience and an understanding of intersectionality to explore ways to be an ally to your neurology. Being autistic isn't the problem, living in an ablest society is.

I provide support for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, including Asperger’s, through a strengths-based, skill-building approach that promotes independence, emotional regulation, and social understanding. My work focuses on helping clients develop practical life skills, improve communication and relationship abilities, and navigate daily challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness. Using evidence-based strategies tailored to each individual’s needs, I emphasize structure, consistency, and personalized goal-setting to foster meaningful progress, enhance quality of life, and support long-term success across personal, social, and vocational domains.

Autism
Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
So much of the advice autistic people receive is about how to seem less autistic; how to make eye contact, how to mask discomfort, how to perform neurotypicality convincingly enough to get through the day. Therapy shouldn't be more of that. I'm Sarah, a neurodivergent therapist myself who works with autistic adults who are tired of contorting themselves to fit a world that rarely fits back. My approach is somatic and body-informed, which means we're not putting all the pressure on verbal processing. We work with your whole nervous system, at your pace, in a way that actually respects how you're wired. KAP can also be a powerful option for autistic clients carrying deep burnout, identity-based pain, or trauma that's been hard to reach. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.
