Dolly Marie Ferraiuolo

Dr. Dolly Ferraiuolo, LCSW-QS, CST, is a licensed clinical social worker, board-certified sex therapist, and expert witness specializing in trauma, neurodiversity, and forensic behavioral health. She is the founder and CEO of Ferra Forensics, a statewide expert witness agency providing court-admissible biopsychosocial evaluations for criminal and family court, and the clinical director of SHARE Therapy & Wellness, a trauma-informed group practice in Clearwater, Florida.

As an autistic clinician and doctoral-trained sexologist, Dr. Ferraiuolo’s work centers on the
intersection of autism, trauma, and alternative intimacy. Her doctoral research and forthcoming book, BONDED: The Autistic’s Guide to the Healing Nature of Kink, explores how consent-based alternative intimacy frameworks can foster regulation, autonomy, and healing for neurodivergent individuals. She is the creator of the BONDED model, a therapeutic intervention that promotes communication, empowerment, and sensory-informed intimacy in clinical settings.

With over a decade of leadership across forensic mental health, sexual health, and trauma recovery, Dr. Ferraiuolo is also a seasoned behavioral health consultant, speaker, and educator. Her expertise includes alternative intimacy, navigating neurodivergent intimacy, complex trauma, attachment theory, complex personalities, and orgasm equity. She delivers trainings nationwide to legal teams, clinicians, and academic institutions, and is a passionate advocate for inclusive, affirming care for marginalized communities. Dr. Ferraiuolo now seeks to bring her interdisciplinary perspective to academia through research, teaching, and faculty leadership in social work education.
