Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello, I’m Dr. Kari Tervo. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in psychological assessments. I enjoy providing assessments because I can help people identify therapy goals. Assessment can help to provide targets for developing more effective emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. That’s accomplished by identifying your strengths and weaknesses in a direct and non-judgmental fashion. This can provide you with a sense of clarity, relief, and a path to move forward towards your better life satisfaction.When it comes right down to it, I really like talking with people! That’s why I take a conversational approach to assessment. In order to make you feel comfortable, I might even ask you about your favorite pop culture content (heard any good songs lately?). It’s all about getting to know you, your interests, and your feelings and preferences. Each person brings their own unique background and circumstances. I’d like to find out more about you in a positive and non-judgmental environment in order to help you meet your life goals.

Hello! My name is Chantry, like pantry, and I'm a clinical social worker licensed and living in California. My primary focuses in my clinical work are ADHD, autism, complex PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. I've found that often, after a diagnosis, people are feeling a certain way and/or wondering where to go from here. It's important to me to help people process feelings they may be having surrounding the diagnosis, while also working towards a more positive future. It's my goal to help people determine how to adapt their environments to fit their own unique needs, which can be difficult after a lifetime of masking and trying to fit into a neurotypical mold that was never made for us. It is important to me to give my clients space to talk - the session is focused solely on YOU, not on me, so that you have the time and space you need to fully express yourself. However, if you're not sure what to say or focus on, I'm skilled at gently asking questions designed to help clarify your needs and wants. I sincerely look forward to working with you!

Hello,  my name is Dr. Laura Rencher, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia. I have  more than 26 years of experience working with adults in clinical and assessment settings.I believe that a thoughtful evaluation involves more than determining whether someone meets diagnostic criteria. It is also an opportunity to understand the experiences, strengths, challenges, and adaptations that have shaped a person over time.I bring curiosity, compassion, and respect to the assessment process. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and feel genuinely heard and understood. I recognize that seeking an autism evaluation as an adult can be an important step toward making sense of experiences that may have been difficult to understand or explain in the past. I hope the assessment process provides not only diagnostic clarity, but also a more meaningful understanding of yourself and the unique ways you experience and navigate the world.
