Jennifer Cleveland, PhD

Dr. Jennifer Cleveland received her degree from the University of North Texas.  She has worked in various settings (and states!)  throughout her career including community mental health, the pediatrics department at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, and the school health program through Montefiore Hospital.  She has always loved to work with children and adolescents and has a special passion for evaluations and neuropsychological testing.  

In 2015 Dr. Cleveland became a faculty member at Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) in New Jersey, where she served as the administrator for a program providing support for autistic college students.  After four years at FDU, Jennifer decided it was time to get back to Texas and began working at UTSA’s former Counseling and Mental Health Services from 2019 – 2021.  She left in 2021 to begin private practice full time where she particularly enjoyed evaluating and providing treatment for autistic adults.  Jennifer served on the executive committee of the Bexar County Psychological Association as their Early Career Psychologist representative and wrote her first book chapter in 2022 in the book titled, Postsecondary Transition for College- or Career-bound Autistic Students.

She joined ACN's clinical team in August of 2023 and is excited to contribute to the organization.  In her free time, she loves going to music concerts with her husband, relaxing with her two teen children at home, reading, travelling, watching any good Netflix series (more recently The Lincoln Lawyer, Triptych, and Suits), and doing SPENGA workouts!
