About
Hi! I’m Jamie! I’m autistic and queer and interested in both LGBTQ+ issues and neurodivergent communities. I’m also gender nonconforming and use she/her pronouns. It feels odd to say that in a profile, because many believe that therapists/psychologists should be perfect and have no conditions or problems in order to help others. But I believe that having the experience of grappling with being neurodivergent makes me a more empathetic, compassionate, and effective psychologist. I can relate, because I’ve been there, and am there.I am a psychologist who does assessments for autism through Prosper. You will find people who get it there, and can meet with you where you are.
Honestly, I love neurodivergent folks! I believe we are special, and have many unique and interesting traits and abilities. I know there are challenges, but I also believe challenges can be turned into strengths.
My affinity for neurodivergent folks makes me more attuned to and accepting of us. And it certainly helps that I am also a part of the neurodivergent community.
