Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Leigh (Lee). I am a licensed clinical social worker living in Metro Atlanta, GA, and I am licensed in GA and CT. I am passionate about supporting autistic and neurodivergent people in a way that is affirming, compassionate, culturally responsive, and strengths-based.

‍

I believe therapy should be a space where you do not have to change who you are to be understood. I work to create a therapy space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self, feel respected, and explore your experiences without judgment. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, self-advocacy, and a life that feels more sustainable and aligned with who you are.

‍

I also recognize that neurodivergence intersects with race, culture, gender, family, identity, faith, and lived experience. These parts of who you are matter and are welcome in the therapy space.

I’m Dr. David Bonanno, a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working in the mental health field since 1993. I especially identify with people who know they’re struggling but don’t quite understand why. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the struggle itself—it’s not having an explanation for it. I want assessment to help people finally understand themselves and their experiences in a way that makes sense.

Hello and welcome! My name is Melissa Laracuenta-Hernandez. I have been a practicing psychologist since 2006 and am licensed in both New York and Connecticut. Based in the Northeast, I have extensive experience conducting psychological assessments with children, adolescents, and adults, including evaluations for autism and other forms of neurodivergence.I believe that assessment is about much more than arriving at a diagnosis—it's an opportunity to better understand how your mind works, recognize your unique strengths, and make sense of challenges that may have felt confusing or misunderstood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and affirming. I strive to create a comfortable, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood throughout the evaluation process.Whether you are seeking answers for yourself or a loved one, my goal is to provide a thoughtful, comprehensive assessment that offers meaningful insight and practical recommendations to support your next steps with greater clarity and confidence.
