Autumn Starks
,
LCSW

Autumn has been practicing psychotherapy for 14 years. She loves joining with clients and bearing witness to their growth, development, and healing. Autumn works most with folks struggling with mood or anxiety, with or without a history of trauma. She has a passion for supporting those who have struggled to find relief, despite trying other approaches to recover from mental health struggles. She works especially well with those who are struggling to make sense of challenging experiences. Before beginning her work with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Autumn worked with clients using a grounded and meditative approach to therapy called Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS has been found to be an especially effective therapeutic framework for those integrating medicines such as Ketamine to their mental health treatment. EDUCATION Autumn has a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Boston University. In addition to her academic studies, she has pursued training in Internal Family System (IFS Level 2 Graduate, Level 3 Pending in November 2022), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and other creative/expressive therapies. She is currently pursuing a year-long certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. OTHER PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Autumn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to partnering with AyaFusion Wellness Clinic, she leads Starks Therapy Group in Oak Park, IL. She has special clinical expertise in supporting those working through complex trauma and religious trauma. She has experience working with folks across the age spectrum. Autumn works from a Health at Every Size framework.
