Becca Dorn-Medeiros (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Ed.S., LPC

My school psychologist training and experience has given me extensive knowledge of autism and other neurodiversities. I believe that autism is not a thing to be cured, but a unique way of interacting with and understanding the world. I believe in supporting autistic people in advocating for themselves and finding pride in their identities.

Kaia Stamiris (She/They)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, #R7150

I practice neurodivergent-affirming care. In a nutshell, this means our work will emphasize strengths over differences, and affirm your lived experiences. I understand the challenges of living in a society that is not set up to understand neurodivergent perspectives. I place great importance on both autonomy and authenticity, and I give clients lots of space to provide feedback on what is and is not working for them in therapy. I have a naturally slow pace in session and many find this helpful.

Many adults wonder if they have Aspergers or Autism because work isn't going well, relationships are a struggle & stress is difficult to manage. Understanding how your brain & body works is the most important way to move forward. We can work together to determine if you are neurodiverse & to find your niche vocationally as well as building confidence in relationships.

Kimberly Zeszutek, LPC (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Since 2007, I have developed a style of skill building and supportive therapy for those who identify with Neurodiversity and the Autism Spectrum. Many of these individuals have had to navigate against the grain of a neurotypical societies expectations. My goal is to assist individuals to become empowered by their neurodiversity, and to apply their value and strengths towards their personal goals and to over all positive growth of society.

Libby Gregory (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

M.A.

Your neurodivergence is a part of who you are. I have 5+ years working with people who are neurodivergent (ADHD/Autism). I can work with you to process a diagnosis, explore what your neurodivergence means to you, manage symptoms, or just provide a safe place for you to be understood as we work together. Your neurodivergence can be as much or as little of the topic of conversation as you would like. It is important to have a counselor who understands and accepts YOU, for exactly as you are.

Sarah Hart

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA LPC

Therapy for Autistic people and those who love them. I work from a strengths-based perspective to help Autistic people develop a healthy identity and work with the challenges of being neurodiverse in a world that privileges the neurotypical.

Alicia Pasik (She/They)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, CRC, LPC

I have extensive experience helping folks who are diagnosed or self-identify as neurodiverse. I see neurodiversity as a unique way of existing in the world, rather than as an issue to treat. Some challenges that may be experienced with this diagnosis include feeling different or misunderstood, sensory processing difficulties, and difficulty understanding social cues. I provide neurodivergent-affirming care and believe that you are the expert of your own experience.

Amanda Fitzpatrick (She/they)

Marriage and Family Therapist

LMFT

I support individuals and relationships navigating a (late) diagnosis of autism, partners with differing neurotypes, and parenting neurodivergent children. As a neurodivergent person myself, I approach this work from a deeply strength based perspective. You will not encounter lists of deficits nor dehumanizing evaluations in our therapy. Instead we will treat difference with regard. This tends to be a process of exploration and uncovering, unmasking, from a trauma informed perspective.
