Therapy & Coaching
Are You Ready to Embrace Love on the Autism Spectrum?
Is Autism, ADHD, or Complex Trauma part of your relationship?
You’re not broken—you’re wired differently. And you deserve support that honors how you both connect, cope, and communicate.
If traditional therapy hasn’t worked, it’s not your fault. Most approaches aren’t built for neurodivergent nervous systems or emotional mismatches in relationships.
That’s why Love on the Autism Spectrum exists.
This is a space for neurodivergent adults and couples to explore connection, identity, and intimacy—without pressure, shame, or blame.
You’re not here to be fixed. You’re here to feel seen, supported, and safe to be yourself.

Founder
Hi, I’m Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony
Love, understood. Connection, redefined.
Hi, I’m Barbara Lazarony (she/her/they), all of my friends call me Blaze. I’m a neurodivergent therapist, coach, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#151788).
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in corporate leadership roles, gaining firsthand experience in organizational dynamics, executive development, and the complexities of balancing professional and personal growth. I bring over four decades of professional expertise to my work, merging clinical excellence, lived experience, and strategic insight.
I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Sofia University and advanced training in Autism, ADHD, and Complex Trauma. My approach blends clinical expertise with lived experience. I’ve been in a neurodivergent relationship for over 42 years, and I know firsthand what it means to long for closeness while feeling constantly misunderstood.
I understand the unique challenges and strengths of neurodiverse relationships—because I live them, too. Whether it’s bridging communication gaps, deepening emotional intimacy, or embracing each partner’s unique way of experiencing love, my mission is to help you create a relationship that feels emotionally safe, fulfilling, and real.
My work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and rooted in emotional clarity. Whether you’re seeking support as an individual or a couple, I offer a non-pathologizing space to explore identity, connection, and self-trust—at a pace that honors your nervous system and your truth.
You don’t need to mask, shrink, or try harder to be understood.
You just need support that finally fits.
If you’re ready to feel seen, supported, and more connected to yourself and your relationships—I’d be honored to walk beside you.
We Support You with Growth & Acceptance
If you’re navigating a relationship touched by Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, or Complex Trauma, and you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted—you’re not alone.
I bring both lived and professional experience to this work. I understand the invisible challenges neurodiverse individuals and couples face—because I’ve lived them too.
Whether you’re just starting to explore a diagnosis, or have been on this journey for years, I offer compassionate, customized support to help you strengthen your relationship, deepen emotional connection, and feel truly understood.
Together, we will:
- Identify each partner’s strengths and unique ways of connecting

- Balance individual needs with shared goals
