Autism and Asperger's
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Using evidence-based practices like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I collaborate with individuals across the spectrum to address core challenges and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps, I create structured, personalized behavior plans that align with each person’s unique needs and strengths. Through positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I help individuals acquire new skills and behaviors while effectively reducing challenging ones. My approach is both compassionate and strategic, ensuring that each person receives the support they need to thrive.

Spokane is eastern Washington's largest city and serves as the commercial and healthcare hub for a vast inland region — the Inland Northwest — creating a therapy community that draws clients from across a wide geographic area and addresses the particular stressors of rural and small-town communities alongside its own urban population. The city has a significant veteran and active-duty military population connected to Fairchild Air Force Base, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and service-to-civilian transition serve an important role. Providence Health and MultiCare Health System provide major institutional mental health resources alongside Washington State University's Spokane health sciences campus, which feeds clinical training into the local community. Spokane's economic challenges — including persistent poverty in some neighborhoods — mean therapists here frequently work with economic stress, substance use, and the compounding effects of long-term financial precarity.
