Whether you’re just trying to keep your head above water every day or trying to emerge into a new stage of your life, you don’t need to do it all alone. If you’re autistic or think you might be autistic and seeking some help and support without judgement, you’ve come to the right place. My therapy is neurodivergent-affirming, trans-affirming, sex-positive, anti-ableist, anti-racist, and culturally sensitive. I strive to create a safe space where you are encouraged to be your true authentic self.

Jessee Lovegood (ey/they pronouns)

Licensure: AMFT #121883, California. Supervised by Dr. Sheila Addison, California LMFT #49616.
Services: I offer individual sessions to youth and adults ages 12+ as well as group therapy for queer/trans disabled/chronically ill adults and neuroqueer transition aged youth, ages ~15-25. My practice is fully virtual/teletherapy.
Jessee’s message: I work relationally, which for me means that I connect with my clients with empathy and compassion, and quite a bit of humor, because the healing happens in relationship. I enjoy sharing the knowledge that I have gained about trauma, neuroscience, neurodiversity, and chronic illness and how that impacts our bodyminds. Yet I find that many of my clients’ therapeutic epiphanies come about when I am reflecting their experiences back to them and helping them to connect the dots to form a more holistic view of themselves. I love working with people who are wanting to look inward and untangle the web of their life.
My work is also founded in affirming and liberatory principles for all of the populations that I specialize in: neurodivergent, queer, trans, disabled/chronically ill, and polyamorous.

Total Spectrum Counseling

Licensure: California
Services: Individuals, Family, Children, Teens, teletherapy
Payment: Private Pay
Total Spectrum’s message: Neurodivergent people connect differently, our brains come alive in different contexts, we move differently, and we pay attention to different things. And these differences, when not honored by those around us, create wells of anxiety and shame that can cause us to get stuck. Instead of traditional therapy, we will tap into your built-in potential to cope, connect, and thrive, and help you develop tools that work for you. We are culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and sex-positive.

Mia Turner, MA, LMFT, RYT, ASDCS (she/her)

Licensure: California- Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Registered Yoga Instructor, Autism Clinical Specialist
Services: Individual Therapy (Teletherapy/Virtual only for CA residents)
Pay & Insurance: Private Pay, Aetna, Oscar Health, Oxford, UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH, Out of Network, Inclusive Therapists Fund, and Loveland Foundation
Specialty: Culturally affirming, Neurodivergent-affirming, and social justice-aligned offerings of healing for adults, transition aged youth (TAY 18-25), and youth who identify as multi-cultural/ethnic/racial/mixed race, BI&POC, neurodivergent, Autistic, AUDHD, ADHD, disabled, quirky, creative, LGBTQIA2S+, and/or from traditionally marginalized communities.
Values & Why: Due to systemic oppression, residuals of ancestral/generational trauma, & communities being under and inappropriately served, I intentionally offer services through an integrative, individualized, multicultural, Afro-centric, Neurodiversity-affirming, Gender-affirming, Social justice aligned, and Culturally-affirming lens to folks who might feel more comfortable working with a therapist who has similar cultural and lived experiences.
Mia’s message: In both my practice and lived experience, I acknowledge that people from various racial, geographic, linguistic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds have different lived experiences, unique cultural strengths, and resiliency factors, in addition to facing varying types of adversity, discrimination and prejudice, particularly when it comes to historical and current systemic oppression, dimensions of power and privilege, and access to appropriate and respectful medical and mental health care, education, housing, resources, and assistance. I am mindful in my efforts to not diminish individual experiences and intersections of identities, and to not perpetuate the historical minimization of the voices of those who need and deserve to be heard.
- In keeping these culturally and intersectionally- inclusive practices in mind I offer a path towards hope by providing a space for healing, validation, empowerment, and peace. I am intentional in meeting you where you are in your path and process towards progress in creating the life you deserve. I integrate expressive and cultural practices, including use of various art medium, modes of story-telling, and humor to help you process experiences and find restorative peace and joy.
Approach: My approach is culturally-affirming, Neuro-affirming, relational, collaborative, social-justice aligned, and rooted in “keeping it real.” I draw on an eclectic collaboration of EMDR, Psychodynamic, Narrative, Mindfulness and Somatic practice, Yoga, Parts / Internal Family Systems (IFS), Expressive Arts, Existential, Humanistic, Harm Reduction, Family Systems, and Attachment and Relationship based theoretical orientations.

California Licensed Psychologist (USA)
Services: Individual and couples therapy for adults via telehealth in California, specializing in gifted people, ADHD, neurodivergence, autism, trans and non-binary folks, cancer patients, and death anxiety. My work is trauma-informed, and couple’s therapy focuses on queer couples—Kink and poly-friendly.
Liz’s message: Life can feel overwhelming; we can feel stuck and unsure how to move forward. Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening inside with gentleness and curiosity to help you find answers from your inner wisdom. Doing so will help you access your most profound sense of empowerment and make choices to have a more meaningful, spacious, and joyful life.

Together, we can sort through what you are facing to gain clarity and relief so you can move forward with enhanced wisdom and self-compassion. If you have a chronic or terminal illness such as cancer, grief from the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a job, talking can help.
- My work is trauma-informed, transpersonal, and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). I can help you feel more grounded, empowered, authentic, and joyful.

This could be dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADHD, and ASD (formely referred to as Asperger’s, high-functioning autism). I, myself, was diagnosed with dyspraxia as an adult and in the post-diagnostic period of processing, I was able to have a profound shift in my oreintation to the world – now seeing neurodiverse qualities in myself as well as in others. I see people doing things “differently” all the time, and I want to both support them and empower them to to have choice in how they interface with the neurotypical world. Across the last 15 years,

Anaïs Wong (She/her)

Licensure: California POST-DOCTORAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATE, PSB 94027130
Services: Psychological testing/assessment and individual psychotherapy
Payment options: Private pay and sliding scale/payment plan/superbill options
Anaïs’ message: Being neurodivergent is my primary identity. I started specializing in neurodivergence as soon as I realized there were many others who, like me, have struggled to understand who they are and be accepted in a neurotypical society. As a woman of color who grew up in Africa, I also deeply care about offering a space where women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+/queer, and other oppressed peoples can feel safe and feel seen. My work is always firmly nestled in viewing every person as unique with their own cultural identity, family history of migration or displacement, and ways that they may experience socio-economic injustice. Through a therapeutic and collaborative assessment model, I offer testing that is meant to witness your personal story, help you make sense of your experiences, and send you on your way to heal and to grow into a fuller version of yourself, with greater self-understanding and self-love.
