Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Welcome! So glad you found me.  My name is Helen Dickey, and I am a psychologist, licensed in the State of Florida. I have had the privilige of meeting people at some of the worst times in their life, but also had the pleasure of helping them find hope.  I have worked with individuals in different capacities, and I've found that a key to a positive therapeutic journey is listening.  My goal is to create that space in our time together to help you feel safe, and listened to, and help you move forward in life.

Welcome! I’m Brian Adderley, a queer and Black therapist dedicated to holistic mental health practices and nurturing authentic connections. I understand the impact of shame and feeling unsafe in environments that tell us to hide because who we are is unlovable. Feeling stuck? Dealing with worry, fear, or the belief that bad things are bound to happen? Struggling with self-worth, feeling misunderstood, or grappling with persistent negative thoughts? These feelings are normal, but they can lead to tension and joylessness. Together, we can explore your unique experiences and goals, fostering peace and understanding.

Hello there! I'm Karah Weliver, LCSW, and my purpose as a therapist is to support and collaborate with clients to achieve their personal goals. As an Autistic/ADHD person and as a therapist, I am passionate about supporting other neurodivergent people develop a positive personal identity, self-advocate, and feel effective, healthy, safer, and at peace within themselves. I graduated from Portland State University with my Master of Social Work in 2017. I’ve been working in the mental health field for 15+ years, and as a clinician for the last 8, which has given me the opportunity to work with people facing a wide range of challenges, from anxiety, trauma/PTSD, Autism/ADHD, personality disorders, those with relational or behavioral issues, as well as many other mental health and relational/environmental challenges. My clinical approach is rooted in polyvagal theory, focused on establishing internal safety, is non-judgmental, goal oriented, and collaborative. As clients work at their own pace, I offer listening, validation, reflection and a variety of other tools to support them in their therapeutic journey from multiple therapeutic modalities, including but not limited to somatic experiencing, DBT, TF-CBT and CBT to help clients first achieve a felt sense of safety and identity, and then work collaboratively to achieve their goals from there. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and experience, and I am here to honor and witness your process. I’d love the opportunity to work with you!

Time and again, I saw intelligent, insightful, capable adults being misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked. I wanted to create a therapeutic space where their strengths are recognized, their communication styles are respected, and their challenges are met with genuine understanding—not judgment. Helping autistic adults build lives that fit them (instead of forcing themselves into someone else’s blueprint) is deeply meaningful work for me.How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?I believe people thrive when their abilities are honored—not overshadowed by what they’ve been told is “wrong” with them. My approach focuses on what clients naturally do well, how they process the world, and the unique skills they bring to their relationships, careers, and communities. From there, we build strategies that align with their strengths rather than fight against them. It’s incredibly powerful to watch clients embrace their identity, gain confidence, and realize they don’t need to fit anyone else’s mold to live a meaningful, fulfilling life
