From Rachel Henesy at WWU:

I am an Assistant Professor at WWU and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Washington. I am also an autistic adult and I will be facilitating a counseling group this fall (starting early October), along with a 2nd year counseling graduate student. It will be free and fully in-person in our campus counseling center. The group will be for AAC users, which includes members who use AAC all the time or some of the time.
