Getting to know Lauren Roberts

I offer in-person therapy in St.Petersburg, FL. Being an adult on the autism spectrum can come with unique strengths and challenges that are often misunderstood. Many high-functioning or late-identified autistic adults spend years masking, adapting, or feeling out of place without having a space where they can fully be themselves. My name is Dr. Lauren Roberts, and I specialize in supporting autistic adults seeking greater self-understanding, confidence, and connection. I provide a neurodiversity-affirming, accepting, and practical therapy space focused on helping you understand how your brain works, navigate relationships and work, manage stress, and create a life that feels authentic and manageable. My areas of focus include adult autism, high-functioning and late-identified autism, masking, social and relationship challenges, emotional regulation, stress, anxiety related to autism, self-understanding, and self-acceptance. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your goals. Rather than changing who you are, therapy focuses on identifying strategies that support your strengths, needs, and daily life. Sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing space for reflection, skill-building, and meaningful progress. Clients describe me as calm, approachable, and genuinely accepting. I strive to create an environment where you can speak openly without judgment and explore your experiences without needing to mask or explain yourself. I work best with autistic adults who want support navigating identity, relationships, work, life transitions, or the challenges that come with feeling different. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands neurodiversity and offers practical, respectful support, I would be honored to work with you.
