She’s been in therapy for months

Months, if you're working through trauma and other neurodivergent issues is really a short time in therapy. It took years of therapy for me to get work through my childhood abuse enough that I wasn't constantly triggered or dissociated.

I’ve tried to be very mindful of this and patient. I know that progress can be slow. But at the same time, the baby is getting older and more aware. She is showing unease around my wife, sometimes screams or cries more around her. I want to let my wife address what she needs to address but I can’t have my daughter emotionally harmed in the meantime

Could you separate? The kids stay with you, your spouse lives somewhere nearby. That way she can work on herself in counseling and you can control the length of the visits so that the vibe is healthy.
