Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including autistic and other neurodivergent clients. My approach emphasizes adapting therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual while fostering a supportive and validating environment. I have experience advocating for and facilitating access to gender-affirming care, including providing letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatments.
In my work with LGBTQ+ youth, I prioritize family collaboration and use evidence-based practices, including the Family Acceptance Project’s family model, to strengthen relationships and promote mental health and well-being. I also provide guidance around gender identity exploration, helping clients navigate transitions and develop self-acceptance. My goal is to empower individuals and families by offering compassionate, identity-affirming care grounded in respect, understanding, and advocacy.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
No matter how many letters, numbers and symbols are added, there is no catch-all category of "LGBT issues," so this category simply signals that this is a very safe space for individuals and couples who happen to love someone of the same (or non-binary) gender to talk about what is getting in the way of full connection, full functioning, and full growth.

The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, CST, CSAT
The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality approaches LGBTQIA+ dynamics by understanding each client's unique subjective experience. Looking at unconscious conflicts, internalized societal (heteronormative) messages that can shape one's sexual and gender identity. Coupled with family dynamics, attachment patterns and cultural stigmas that can contribute to internalized feelings. We create a safe environment to investigate what lies under the water line and needs to be addressed to bring awareness into the equation.
