Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Allied Collaborative is an autistic-owned practice that specializes in neurodiversity-affirming care. Regena and Presley are currently accepting clients.
I personally am not accepting new clients at this time due to my waitlist being full, however, I have hired two new therapists, Regena Edster and Presley Sours. We at Allied Collaborative believe humans are capable of immense strength and growth. We utilize a neurodiversity-affirming strength-based approach in all our therapy. Different brains are not stigmatized in our office. They are embraced. Our owner has lived experience as a late-diagnosed autistic therapist and has helped many individuals see how their unique brains see things through a different lens, not a broken one. We have specialized training in autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, LGBTQIA issues, and trauma utilizing EMDR. Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds. Many are seeking guidance through suspected diagnoses; others are seeking clarity of diagnoses already given. Many of these individuals are battling past traumas and negative coping mechanisms they have developed along the way. Other individuals are just dealing with a variety of adjustments in their life. Each one shares a common goal of a desire to grow and understand themselves better.
