Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Edessa and I'm based in LA. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or a sense of disconnection, our work together will focus on uncovering deeper insights, fostering self-awareness, and creating meaningful change. I offer a space to feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is relational, compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to your unique experiences. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or your hundredth, I’ll meet you where you’re at and we can decide what pace is most comfortable for you.

Hi there, and welcome. Reaching out for support is a brave first step, and I’m glad you’re here. Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to support people through all kinds of life transitions—whether they’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply looking for a space to breathe and sort things out. I’m someone who listens closely, shows up authentically, and believes in building real human connection in the therapy space. Clients often share that they feel at ease with me because I’m down to earth and easy to talk to. I bring warmth, humor when it fits, and a steady presence. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all—we’ll figure out what works best for you. Sometimes that might look like helping you build coping skills, and other times it’s about unpacking deeper patterns or just having someone in your corner who truly listens.

I applaud you for believing you deserve to live a happy life and seeking support to help you realize that dream.  I am Claudia Schaeffer, a 30-year licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Hello! My name is Angela Vigna. I am a licensed psychologist in both California and Texas. Currently I run a private practice in Santa Barbara, CA treating adolescents and young adults who struggle to control their emotions, many of whom are neurodivergent. Throughout my 15 years working as a psychologist, I have had the privilege of providing care to neurodivergent clients of varying levels of social and behavioral functioning. I also have many years of assessment experience which has allowed me to see how valuable psychological diagnostic assessments can be in choosing interventions that work for identified disorders, while taking into consideration the individual's specific needs. This invaluable service will provide you with the resources you need to help you understand yourself better and the specific support that will be the best fit for you. Welcome! I'm thrilled you made your way to Prosper Health.

Hello. My name is Demetria Deary but most people just call me D. I'm sorry that life has brought you to a place where you felt the need to reach out for support but I'm happy to be here to give you that support. I am straight outta Compton (born and raised, but currently living in NorCal), and am licensed in California and Colorado. As a Black, queer, neurodivergent femme, I bring my whole self into this work—identity, intuition, and intention. I’m not here to “fix” people—I help them reconnect to the power they already have.I specialize in working with folx who live at the intersections: BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Autistic, ADHD and are navigating systems not built for us. Whether you’re unpacking identity-based trauma, navigating burnout, or just trying to stay grounded in a world that’s constantly shifting, I offer a space that is affirming, real, and centered on your liberation.
