Autism assessments and mental health counseling for adults & teens on the Autism spectrum.
Gainesville Autism Counseling
My name is Charnell Widnall and, apart from founding the group practice Autism Spectrum Counseling, I am a graduate of the University of Florida in Gainesville. I am also Autistic, and all of our counselors have lived experience with Autism.
Our group practice provides individual counseling to Autistic adults and teens, both formally and self-identified. We both assess for Autism and offer virtual autism counseling to clients in Gainesville, the University of Florida community, and throughout North Central Florida.
Our group practice, Autism Spectrum Counseling, provides neurodiversity affirmative counseling, meaning our counselors value the diversity of human brains and believe different ways of being are healthy and beautiful. Whether you are a student at the University of Florida in Gainsville or part of the broader community, we would be honored to support you with our specialized telehealth Autism therapy.
