Intro

Hi! My name is Melissa, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Texas. I am also part of PSYPACT which allows me to work virtually with clients located in any of 40+ additional states. For more than two decades, I have evaluated and treated neurodivergent clients across multiple settings, including medical centers, outpatient clinics, and telehealth. I am excited to now be partnering with Prosper Health in providing timely and critical autistic diagnostic evaluations to help inform next steps toward neurodiversity affirming care.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Having a family member who is neurodivergent, coupled with the many autistic and neurodivergent clients I have worked with over the years, has fostered a desire to serve a population of individuals that can often be misunderstood and, unfortunately, also underserved. Autistic adults in particular represent a group that has spent many years of their life lacking access to diagnosis and/or specialized treatment. I am thrilled to be a part of the long overdue effort to support autistic adults.

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

In both my clinical and personal life, I operate under the belief that our differences are what make us unique. I encourage my neurodivergent family members and clients alike to celebrate who they are. I do this by exploring particular strengths that they bring to the table so that they can begin to be empowered by their differences versus ashamed.
