About

Hello and Welcome, I am glad you are here. My name is Lani Greening. I have been working as a licensed clinical psychologist for over 20 years. My work with neurodivergent individuals has involved research to expand our knowledge about living as a neurodivergent individual in addition to clinical practice. It is my goal to create a space where you can learn and achieve your personal goals. I strive to forge a partnership whereby we can identify your specific goals and how to achieve them. I believe that learning about ourselves enriches our lives and our well-being.

Education & Licensure
PhD, Clinical Psychology, University of Southern Illinois, Carbondale; MA, Clinical Psychology, University of Southern Illinois, Carbondale; BA California State University.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My interest and motivation to work with neurodivergent individuals stems from my work with this population over the years. I have seen how neurodivergent individuals have unique perceptions of the world and how they can be faced with unique challenges in life that can feel very overwhelming. By understanding how perceptions and coping with these challenges are related, then we can work to forge a path where neurodivergent people can achieve their personal goals and reach a place of personal well-being. Every person is unique and by taking this uniqueness into consideration then we can work to help neurodivergent individuals navigate their path in life.

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

As I mentioned earlier, every person presents with their unique perceptions and life experiences. We also each have our unique talents, strengths, and life goals. In my clinical work, I strive to learn about your unique strengths, talents, perceptions and goals. This enables me to better be able to collaborate with you on reaching your personal goals. I seek to learn from you about your life, your experiences, your skills, and what you would like to accomplish. Then together we can learn how to apply your skills, your experience and your strengths to reach your personal goals.
