Autism
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.

Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
My experience supporting autistic people began in my first job at a summer camp for adults, many of whom were on the autism spectrum. I later worked closely with autistic children and adults as a psychometrist, including people with and without intellectual impairments. I continue to work with autistic clients in my therapy practice today.
Therapy may focus on anxiety, sensory overwhelm, emotional regulation, masking, communication, relationships, routines, burnout, or adjusting to life changes. You may understand what is expected of you socially but feel exhausted by constantly monitoring yourself, or you may struggle to communicate what you need when you become overwhelmed.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how past experiences, family roles, rejection, bullying, or repeated misunderstandings have shaped the way you view yourself and relate to others. We can distinguish between difficulties you would like to work on and differences that deserve acceptance, accommodation, and respect.
I may also use CBT to help you identify unhelpful beliefs, manage anxiety, and develop more flexible ways of responding to stressful situations. Mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies can help you recognize signs of overload earlier, while solution-focused work can help us identify practical changes to your routines, relationships, and environment.
When appropriate, we may develop gradual behavioral missions to help you practice communication, boundary-setting, flexibility, or navigating situations that currently feel intimidating. These challenges are collaborative and adjusted to your needs so that therapy does not become another environment where you feel pressured to perform or hide who you are.
My goal is not to make you appear less autistic. It is to help you understand yourself more fully, communicate your needs, reduce unnecessary distress, build meaningful relationships, and create a life that fits you. Please note that I currently provide therapy for autistic clients but do not conduct autism evaluations or provide autism diagnoses.

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.
