Autism
Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals (e.g., ADHD, Autism, SPD) and their families to better understand themselves, the strengths and uniqueness of their differently-wired brains, and the areas in which they feel stuck. I utilize a neurodiversity-affirming lens that emphasizes seeing the whole person and that integrates their preferences related to sensory processing, communication and relationships, and special interests. I value collaborating with other service providers and joining with the individual and family at any stage of the diagnostic and self-discovery process.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
I support individuals on the autism spectrum with respect and practical strategies for everyday challenges. Care may include emotional regulation tools, social communication support, sensory-friendly coping skills, anxiety management, and family therapy, when necessary. My goal is to help you thrive in your own unique way.

Autism
Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
If you have autism or think you might have autism, you may find that communication is hard with neurotypical people, including previous therapists. While I don't have autism (that I know of), I have worked with many clients with autism, and have received training in applying Internal Family Systems therapy for working with neurodivergent clients. I offer a therapeutic approach that is client-led and course-correcting, in case we ever have any miscommunication. Usually the work I do with autistic clients revolves around processing the ways their neurodivergence has affected their lives and relationships, and to notice the masks they put on to get by. Ultimately, what I care most about is you developing a more positive and trusting relationship with yourself.

Autism
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
As we increasingly better understand the range of the autism spectrum, including the various ways that ASD can manifest and be masked, work with ASD clients will work on goals that clients self-determine and at a pace that is affirming and encouraging. Neurodiversity is affirmed in my practice with ASD clients and therapeutic goals will always be collaborative and self-paced.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
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.
