Our team of therapists and psychologists has extensive experience working with autistic adults.
Hello! I’m Dr. Laura Jansons, a licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with more than 30 years of experience helping people better understand how their brains work and why they experience the world the way they do.
For many adults, considering an autism evaluation comes after years, sometimes decades, of feeling different, working hard to fit in, or wondering why certain social, sensory, or everyday experiences seem to require more effort than they do for other people. I approach assessment with curiosity rather than assumptions. My goal is to provide a comfortable, respectful space where you can talk openly about your experiences and where we can put the pieces together collaboratively.
I believe a good evaluation should do more than answer the question, “Am I autistic?” It should help you understand your unique pattern of strengths, challenges, coping strategies, and experiences. My goal is for you to leave the evaluation with greater clarity, a better understanding of yourself, and information that is genuinely useful in your everyday life.
For over 20 years, I have completed psychological evaluations, provided individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy and DBT to clients in outpatient, inpatient and residential treatment settings. I supervised and trained student and staff therapists.I believe that helping people to understand themselves fully and working through the challenges and life events which influences their functioning is the overall goal of treatment. I am truly blessed and honored to able to work with people to help them improve their lives.
Hi, I’m Dr. Z, a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I’m naturally curious about people and have always been fascinated by the different experiences, strengths, and characteristics that make each of us who we are. One of my favorite parts of being a psychologist is helping people answer questions they may have had about themselves for years and better understand why certain obstacles can feel particularly difficult to overcome—learning the “why” behind why am I like this?
Often, the ways we have learned to think, feel, and respond make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them. Those same experiences can also be sources of resilience, strength, and tremendous growth.
I believe the assessment process should feel collaborative, comfortable, and human. My goal is for you to leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, including the strengths you may not have recognized along the way.
Outside of psychology, I’m a creative person at heart. I enjoy writing children’s books and making pottery. Creativity and curiosity are important parts of my life, and I bring both into the way I approach my work.
Hi, I'm Emily, I am licensed in Texas, Utah and Washington State. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, anger management, PTSD, and alcohol or substance use. Many of the people I work with are looking not just for relief, but for a deeper understanding of themselves and why they feel the way they do, and how to create lasting change. Whether you’re facing daily stressors, working through past experiences, or trying to regain a sense of control, therapy can be a space to slow down, process, and begin moving forward.My goal is for you to leave sessions with clarity, stronger tools, and a sense that change is not only possible, but already beginning.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real-life application. Together, we focus on building practical coping skills and helping you feel more steady, confident, and in control of your life
Hello and welcome! My name is Christine Minerva and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with over 20 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. The first half of my career was largely focused on advocacy and counseling survivors of domestic violence, sexual trauma and abuse. The second part of my career largely focused on grief, loss, end of life counseling and chronic illness. My goal is to first and foremost create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and without judgement. As a therapist, I have been trained in many different modalities (CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused, empowerment model) and I have an empathic and eclectic style.
I believe it takes courage to even open my profile to consider therapy, and for many people this is a step they've been thinking about for quite some time. I would consider it a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.
