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 to talk about the challenges they face in a nonjudgmental environment. We have all 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. I am passionate about helping individuals who may be on the Autism Spectrum to gain a better understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. Together we can help uncover challenges and strengths within you to help guide you in developing skills to enhance your daily living with the goal of helping you feel more connected to those around you. My goal is to partner with you as we go through the assessment process. Each individual’s journey thought 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.
