Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I am a licensed psychologist offering therapy, parent coaching, and comprehensive evaluations for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and developmental challenges. My approach focuses on empowering children, adolescents, and adults by identifying their strengths, addressing challenges, and building practical tools for growth and success. I take a strength-focused, neurodiversity-affirming approach, offering evidence-based strategies tailored to meet your specific needs. In addition to my work with neurodivergent individuals, I have extensive experience supporting those who are adopted or have experienced trauma, including related to chronic illness. My services are grounded in a trauma-informed framework for you to feel safe, understood, and confident as we work together. I believe that growth starts with collaboration, which is why my approach emphasizes working together towards practical solutions and achievable goals.

Modern Care Collective, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We created Modern Care Collective because we believe therapy should feel human.
We know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you have to fit yourself into a box just to get help. Our goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, pressure, or pretending to have it all together.
We bring real experience, honesty, compassion, and a little bit of humor into the work. Whether you’re navigating relationships, trauma, identity, mental health, recovery, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, you don’t have to do it alone.
You are not something that needs to be fixed. You are a whole person, and we’re here to help you understand yourself, find your tools, and build a life that feels like your own.
