Music therapist or guitar teacher familiar w/autism?

Hi there, my 15 year old has autism and has greatly benefitted from music therapy in the past. She is looking for 1:1 guitar lessons and really needs someone with a therapeutic background.  Does anyone have recommendations?  I would happily set up sessions with a music therapist who could teach guitar as part of the therapy or set up lessons with a non-therapist who has a gift with neurodiverse folks who are also working hard to manage their frustration while learning new things.  Prefer the East Bay.  Thanks for any suggestions.
