Autism and Asperger's
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have seen people on the spectrum for 30 years. I've run a group for parents of people on the spectrum. Each person on the spectrum has different needs. Some people want to be more social and some do not. I respect what ever their goals are and work toward positive change that brings their life more fullfilling.

Autism and Asperger's
Sarayu Meraki
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NARM Master Therapist
Autism recognition can bring relief, grief, anger, clarity, and confusion all at once, especially if it happens after you've spent decades of your life not knowing. Therapy that respects and works with autistic traits and functioning offers a place to slow down and listen differently — to your nervous system, your needs, your relational patterns, and the parts of you that learned to disappear in order to stay connected or safe. Therapy on the spectrum is not about fixing anything. It's about helping you understand the cost of masking, reconnecting with your agency, and building a more trusting relationship with yourself, including the autistic self you may have spent years misunderstanding, hiding, or trying to manage.

Autism and Asperger's
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, capable professionals and students, often in detail‑oriented or technical roles, who have spent years feeling “different” without having language for why. You may be wondering if you are autistic, have a recent diagnosis, or have known for a long time but never had support in making sense of it. From the outside, you may meet or exceed expectations and keep up with work or school. Inside, it can feel like constant effort: managing sensory overload, masking to fit in, replaying conversations, or needing significant time alone to recover from social or emotional strain.
Many adults I see describe a lifelong sense of being out of step with others, feeling misunderstood, or being told they are “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much.” You may have built a life that works on paper but still feels exhausting to maintain. Masking, perfectionism, and trying to meet unspoken social rules can take a real toll on your nervous system and sense of self.
In our work, we approach autism and other forms of neurodivergence through a neurodiversity‑affirming, trauma‑informed lens. We look at how your brain and body naturally process the world, how past experiences have shaped your coping strategies, and what helps you feel more regulated and authentic. The focus is not on changing who you are, but on understanding your wiring, reducing the internal cost of masking, and creating a life that supports your nervous system rather than straining it. This is core to my practice, and it’s work I care about deeply.
