Hi, my name is Dr. Holly McFarland, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist living in Texas. I got into this field by way of anthropology–I wanted to understand ways of living and participating in the world that seemed different from my own. I remember often wondering as a kid: “what is it like to be someone else?” That question pointed me towards a surprising direction–myself. I started to notice that if I wanted to better understand and connect with the world around me, the best starting point was to understand and connect with myself.
Being alive means going through our own unique Earth School curriculum. While no curriculum is exactly alike, we share common ground that consists of highs and lows, joys and sorrows, comfort and pain. I keep discovering the better I understand myself, the easier it is to connect with others. Which is why I enjoy diagnostic work. Assessment works well when it is not primarily focused on the outcome or diagnosis. It is far more generative and effective when approached as a process of self-understanding: What makes me unique? What are some of my patterns? What affordances and limitations does my own personal design and my environment offer me? How do you shape the world around you and how does the world shape you in turn? Assessment is a process of reflection and invites one to investigate and examine how they participate with one’s inner and outer world.
Welcome, I'm so glad that you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself. I'm Laverne Edwards, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with a background in hospital-based behavioral health, where I've worked with neurodivergent adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges and life transitions.
My approach is genuine, collaborative, and practical. I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I tailor our work to your unique strengths, goals, and experiences. Together, we'll create a space where you can explore challenges openly, develop new coping strategies, and move toward the life you want to build.
I have a particular passion for supporting autistic and neurodivergent adults through a neurodiversity-affirming lens, while also working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, and significant life changes. My goal is to help you feel understood, build confidence in your abilities, and navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and self-compassion. Wherever you are in your journey, I look forward to walking alongside you.

Hello, and congratulations on taking this step toward understanding yourself more thoroughly. My name is Kelly Renzi, and as a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois, I provide neurodiversity-affirming autism assessments for adults. I understand that pursuing an autism assessment in adulthood often comes after years of masking and feeling misunderstood. I believe that the diagnostic process should be a collaborative, validating, and empowering journey rather than a clinical hurdle. My approach is one that values neurodivergence as a unique and valid way of experiencing the world. I strive to create a warm, low-pressure, and accommodating environment from our very first meeting.

My goal is to create a space where you can feel understood, accepted, and comfortable and then together, we can explore how your brain works, identify your unique strengths, and find strategies that work for you.
