About

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Gayle Weill, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in working with autistic and neurodivergent adults. Many of the individuals I support are navigating anxiety, burnout, masking, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, or the experience of feeling misunderstood for much of their lives.I also have a special interest in supporting mothers, particularly those balancing parenting with anxiety, sensory overwhelm, and the unique challenges that can come with navigating motherhood while neurodivergent.My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and safe showing up as yourself without fear of judgment. Together, we can work toward building coping strategies, improving emotional well-being, and helping you feel more connected to yourself and your strengths.I believe therapy should feel individualized, supportive, and empowering, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Education & Licensure
MSW from Yeshiva University's Wurzweiler School of Social Work, New York, NY; BA in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Connecticut, Storrs
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I chose to specialize in working with autistic and neurodivergent adults because I saw how many individuals spent years feeling misunderstood, overlooked, or pressured to hide parts of themselves in order to fit in. My interest in this work is also deeply personal, as my younger brother is autistic, which gave me an early appreciation for neurodiversity and the importance of feeling accepted, understood, and supported for who you are.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I bring a neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based approach to my work by helping clients better understand and build upon the qualities that make them unique, rather than viewing differences solely through a deficit-based lens. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and accepted as they are. I believe that self-understanding, self-compassion, and recognizing personal strengths can be powerful parts of healing and growth. My goal is to support clients in developing practical strategies, improving emotional well-being, and building lives that feel more sustainable, authentic, and aligned with their individual needs and values.
