Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I have extensive expertise working with children, adolescents, and adults diagnosed with autism. My approach includes comprehensive autism evaluations using evidence-based tools like the ADOS-2, while also incorporating assessment tools designed to address the unique diagnostic needs of girls, women, and adults. I have specialized training in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)—a developmental, play-based behavioral therapy for young children with autism—and hold PEERS® certification from the UCLA PEERS® Clinic, focusing on social skills training. In addition to diagnostic assessments, I provide personalized therapy to address co-occurring mental health challenges commonly experienced by autistic individuals. I collaborate closely with parents to build strategies for improving skills and addressing challenges at home. My expertise in autism-focused therapy and the mental health needs of autistic individuals has been recognized at national platforms, including presentations at the American Psychological Association Convention and Kennedy Krieger Institute.

Dana Wiesenfeld
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PA-C
Feeling like the world was not built for you? Maybe it wasn’t but shouldn’t it be? Why are we supposed to acclimate to neurotypical people if we are the ones with challenges? What if we did not have to put on our normal person mask everyday? What if someone told you, being you is actually a good thing? That is what we do!

Autism and Asperger's
Sarayu Meraki
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NARM Master Therapist
Autism recognition can bring relief, grief, anger, clarity, and confusion all at once, especially if it happens after you've spent decades of your life not knowing. Therapy that respects and works with autistic traits and functioning offers a place to slow down and listen differently — to your nervous system, your needs, your relational patterns, and the parts of you that learned to disappear in order to stay connected or safe. Therapy on the spectrum is not about fixing anything. It's about helping you understand the cost of masking, reconnecting with your agency, and building a more trusting relationship with yourself, including the autistic self you may have spent years misunderstanding, hiding, or trying to manage.
