Compassionate, specialized psychiatric support for individuals with autism — children through adults. Matthew Mauro brings deep clinical expertise and a personal commitment to the autism community.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting social communication, behavior, and sensory processing. While autism itself is not a psychiatric disorder, individuals with autism frequently experience co-occurring mental health conditions — including anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, and sleep difficulties — that significantly affect quality of life.
Psychiatric care for autistic individuals requires a specialized approach. Presentations of common conditions often look different in autism, medications may be tolerated differently, and treatment must account for communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and each person’s unique strengths.
Matthew Mauro has deep clinical expertise in this area and a personal commitment to the autism community. He approaches every patient with patience, respect, and a genuine effort to understand the world from their perspective.

Thorough assessment of co-occurring psychiatric conditions with full awareness of how autism affects symptom presentation, communication, and behavior. No assumptions — every patient is evaluated as an individual.
When medications are appropriate, Matthew selects and monitors them carefully — starting low, going slow, and closely tracking response and tolerance in the context of each patient’s unique neurology.
For children and adolescents especially, Matthew works collaboratively with families — providing education, guidance, and support so that parents and caregivers are empowered partners in treatment.
Appointments are adapted to the communication style and sensory needs of each patient. We create a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment where every individual is respected.
New patients welcome. Matthew is committed to the autism community — schedule today.
