Jeanne Holverstott Autism Spectrum Specialist, MS 4601 College Boulevard, Leawood, KS 66211

"Jeanne Holverstott is a professional, empathetic, non judgemental, and highly motivating therapist. Her understanding of Autism is among the best I have known in my lifetime from an allistic person, due in no small part to her commitment to clear communication with her clients. As a client, I felt confident misunderstandings would be quickly recognized and corrected in session, and that I could trust her to deeply consider my point of view. Jeanne's approach focuses on problem solving. If you expect your therapy to focus on soothing your emotions first and foremost, you may be disappointed by Jeanne's realistic and solutions-focused feedback. That's true of most therapy, however. It's important to know going in that discomfort is part of the process and that the results will be worth it. And while Jeanne is direct, she is also committed to establishing and keeping trust. I highly recommend this therapist, especially to Autistic people looking for a supportive, anti-ableist perspective."

"Jeanne is an autism specialist, with a focus adult autistic woman. Due to continued pandemic precautions, all appointments are conducted via Zoom. Jeanne’s open demeanor helps virtual encounters flow as if they were in person, with the benefit of not having to take off time to drive to an appointment. Her autism assessment services are specially tailored for adult women rather than the “square peg in a round hole” approach used by some specialists (who continue to use assessments designed for young male children on adult female clients). Reports generated as a result of these assessments are highly detailed and offer a wealth of information on next steps. She also moderates groups and offers follow-up services for adults already” diagnosed” as autistic. Jeanne is knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate, and offers reasonable rates for her services. LGBTQ+ friendly."

"I am glad that I found Jeanne. After living in Minnesota where I had a therapist I liked, I moved back to Kansas. I was diagnosed as having Aspergers as an adult. I tried on and off to find another therapist over the past eight years and never found one that was helpful or felt like they understood me. I came across Jeanne’s website and after reading about her decided to meet with her. I would see how things went. I was pleasantly surprised. She is easygoing and her personality clicked for me. I am comfortable and feel understood. I can talk to her easier than most people. I highly recommend her."

"Jeanne has been incredibly helpful to me in my diagnostic journey and beyond. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to how autism presents in AFAB individuals, which is SO hard to find! She's also a great mix of professional but friendly, kind, and laid-back so you never feel nervous like can sometimes happen with other mental health professionals. Talking with Jeanne is more like talking to a friend, but a friend who absolutely knows what they are doing and has your best interests at heart, instead of just telling you what you want to hear. Since diagnosis, her support and advice has helped me figure out how to make sense of stuff I've struggled with for years. Cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"Jeanne is the absolute best! I have been seeing her on and off for several years. If you are an autistic adult and you need someone who will be open an honest with you at all times with absolutely zero judgment, you need to see Jeanne. If you can't handle the truth and need to be coddled, this is not the place for you LOL. She's super laid back, no BS, open minded and just generally awesome. *Make sure you check the profiles of the bad reviews. It really puts things in perspective."
