I have experience providing both therapeutic services and psychological assessments, and I work with individuals seeking greater self-understanding, clarity, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and client-centered, integrating evidence-based practices and psychoeducation to support insight, emotional well-being, and effective coping in daily life. I am committed to providing you affirming, respectful care that honors your unique experiences, strengths, and needs. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you will feel heard, validated, and empowered throughout the therapeutic and assessment process.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist in Florida and PsyPact-authorized, which means that I am able to provide psychological evaluations across most U.S. states.  I have extensive experience working with a wide range of ages and presentations and particularly enjoy working with adults. You bring such a rich and diverse “palette” of lived experience to the evaluation process. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and respected. I believe that every individual deserves care that reflects their personal values, and I am here to support you in gaining clarity and insight in your journey.

Hello and Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in clinical neuropsychology, fluent in English and Spanish. I have been practicing in South Florida for over ten years evaluating and treating adults with an array of multiple concerns. I’m interested in helping you better understand yourself. I am certain you have thoughtful questions about your personality and identity, relationships, work, or your mental health, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you seek clarity and understanding. My approach to assessment is careful, collaborative, and respectful. I understand that autism can look different in adults, especially for those of you who have spent years adapting, masking, or compensating in order to cope. I am attentive to the full picture, including strengths, challenges, and the ways anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or mood concerns may overlap with autistic traits.Throughout the evaluation process, I strive to create a space that feels safe, affirming, and free from judgment. Questions and uncertainty are welcome here. My goal is not simply to arrive at a diagnosis, but to help you better understand yourself, your nervous system, and your unique way of experiencing the world. When appropriate, I provide clear feedback, thoughtful recommendations, and guidance around next steps, supports, or accommodations.Pursuing an autism evaluation as an adult can be an emotional and meaningful experience. I approach this work with warmth, curiosity, and respect, and I am committed to offering care that is both clinically sound and deeply human.

I am licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience.  I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Stepping in the role of mirror-holder, I know the most impactful insights come from you-after all, you are the expert in your own thoughts and experiences. With guidance and increased skillfulness, you can start to see and believe in your own ability to navigate your spaces (and perhaps some new ones) with new increased ease and less distress. I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking bedside them as they work through life's challenges. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Hi there! I'm Dr. Ailema Frigerio and I'm a Florida licensed psychologist and PSYPACT credentialed. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and at many different stages of life, helping them navigate challenges, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. As a bilingual (English and Spanish) practitioner, I value creating a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Above all, I believe each person brings unique strengths, experiences, and perspectives, and I work collaboratively with clients to build on those strengths rather than focusing solely on difficulties.
