Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Welcome! My name is Elizabeth McRae, PhD. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Birmingham, Alabama. I specialize in autism and neurodevelopmental assessments and have spent much of my career working with autistic individuals, their families, and related support systems through clinical practice, research, and teaching.

I believe that finding a lens through which you can understand yourself and your experiences is one of the most valuable steps you can take toward living authentically and confidently. For many adults, pursuing an autism evaluation is about gaining clarity, validation, and a deeper understanding of a lifetime of experiences. I consider it a privilege to be part of that process.

My approach is warm and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you can share your experiences openly and feel both heard and respected. My goal is that every evaluation provides not only answers but also greater self-awareness and self-compassion. Through this, my goal for your evaluation to offer a roadmap for understanding your needs, leveraging your strengths, and identifying tools and supports that can help you thrive.

I know that starting therapy and finding the right provider can feel intimidating. You do not have to arrive with the perfect words or know exactly where to begin. We can figure that out together. I bring warmth, compassion, patience, encouragement, and a little appropriate humor into our sessions because therapy can involve serious work without feeling cold or uncomfortable.
