About

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Phil Axtell, and I am currently living in Florida, where I’m a Licensed Psychologist. As a clinician, my goal is to create a space where individuals feel safe discussing the challenges they face in a nonjudgmental environment. We have faced challenging times, and it is important to know that my aim is to create an environment where you can express yourself without feeling judged.

Education & Licensure

I have a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Tennessee. I graduated in 2006. I started my professional life working in the school system. I then went into private practice. I have been working in private practice for about 19 years conducting psychological evaluations for a variety of conditions such as Autism, ADHD, Learning Disorders, and many other psychological challenges.

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have worked with children and adults on the Autism Spectrum, and I am passionate about helping individuals who may be on the Spectrum to gain a better understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. Together, we can uncover your challenges and strengths to guide you in developing skills that enhance your daily life, so you can feel more connected to those around you. I am passionate about working with individuals who are on the Autism Spectrum. My goal is to partner with you throughout the assessment process. Each individual’s journey through this process is different, and I am committed to offering you individual care that is unique to you.

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

Through the assessment process, I aim to assess your challenges in a way that does not feel threatening and also focus on your strengths. I will listen to your experiences and create a safe environment for you to express yourself.
