As a clinical Social Worker for over 18 years, I come from a long line of “colorful,” Neurodivergent brains. I have been drawn to the passionate, the quirky, and the uniquely wired since I can remember. Connection is at the heart of my work with all clients. I believe that the magic behind therapy does not stem from any particular therapeutic modality, but instead from feeling understood and hopeful.

I have an extensive background and a passion for working with Autistic clients. Therapy should be a safe place for clients to unmask and work towards positive change.  I provide Autism assessments for teens and adults, with a specific focus in the area of Autism in women and gender nonconforming clients. I am an AANE Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist. Other specialties include ADHD, Autism Burnout, Anxiety, LGBTQ, emotional regulation, and trauma.

Please contact me for a free consultation and to learn more.

At Kranzler Autism Programs and Services (KAPS), we believe that Autism is a neurological difference, not a disorder.  We work to augment strengths while providing skills for overcoming all of the challenges presented by a world that is not built for Autistic Individuals.

When someone is diagnosed with Autism, they gain membership to a community of some of the most talented individuals in many fields, including those of the sciences, medicine, art, technology, law, accounting, entertainment and innovation.  They gain membership to the community that is responsible for moving this world forward.  KAPS is proud to serve this distinguished community.

Dr. Mark is a general dentist concentrating his practice on children ages 1-21 and patients with special needs of all ages. His goal is to create a caring dental home ensuring patients receive the best possible care. The focus on educating patients on proper dental care, early detection and prevention is our top priority at Krause Smiles.

We regularly extend office hours during scheduled holidays and try our best to accommodate your busy schedule when scheduling all appointments! We have found that children under the age of 6 and/or those requiring extensive dental work are more comfortable being seen the first half of the day allowing them a more positive experience. Additionally, certain orthodontic appointments requiring more time and attention are also scheduled in the morning.

Feel free to call or email anytime so that we may answer any questions you may have! We look forward to making Krause Smiles your child’s dental home.

Dr. Mark Krause

During Dr. Mark’s undergrad at Salisbury University he trained under the tutelage of his father, becoming a graduate of SU in 1999. He encouraged his passion for dentistry and treating children of all ages. He then completed a two year General Practice Residency at the University of Rochester/Strong Memorial Hospital. During his second year, Dr. Mark focused his training treating both children and patients with special needs in a clinical, as well as a hospital setting. Ultimately, he received his dental degree from Howard University College of Dentistry.

Dr. Mark is a past president of the Eastern Shore Dental Society. He is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Southeastern Society of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, Maryland State Dental Association, The Salisbury Dental Study Club and the Gnathos Orthodontic Study Club. He continues to educate himself and keeps up to date with evidence-based dentistry on treatment of children by attending extensive courses throughout the year.

Dr. Mark and his wife, Kara, grew up locally and currently reside in Salisbury with their dog Wellington. Upon their return to the area in 2008, Dr. Mark initially practiced with Dr. Jerry. From 2011 until his return to the practice Dr. Mark served the community as a staff dentist for Three Lower Counties (TLC), now Chesapeake HealthCare in Princess Anne, Maryland. He was proud to be the dental director from February of 2013 to October of 2015. Dr. Mark and his wife enjoy spending time with family and friends. They have an interest in music, biking, the beach and travel.

Kuhl Therapies provides Occupational, Speech, Feeding, ABA, and Physical Therapy services for children birth -18 years of age. In our therapy sessions, family members will be trained in order to help the child reach and exceed their goals. At Kuhl Therapies, parents participate in sessions at least once a month in order to learn how to complement the therapy provided at the clinic at home, providing continuity and opportunities for continued progress. We believe carryover and buy-in from the family are integral aspects of making progress, and we are committed to building and facilitating strong partnerships with our families.
