ExP THERAPY®

ExP THERAPY offers neurodivergent affirming individual therapy, grief therapy and coaching, led by Lori Crowley, M.A., LMFT, LPCC, who is herself a neurodivergent mother. The practice focuses on autism, other forms of neurodivergence, parenting, and loss, and it also works with families, caretakers, and parents dealing with PDA (pathological demand avoidance) and neurodivergence.

The approach works through both the mind and body rather than relying only on talk therapy or behavioral methods such as ABA or CBT. Therapy addresses past and present issues and their effect on everyday life, while coaching is an alternative to therapy built around personal goals. The office is at 405 East D Street in Petaluma, and the practice's team includes Shayna Kirk, Laury Monk, and Angela Sanville, all with M.A. degrees.
