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.

Lauree Berger Turman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 22044, LCSW 098456-01
To change, to grow, to connect, to stay connected, to be the very best of yourself are the reasons to come into therapy. Those issues are at the center of my work. Understanding how you got here, where you want to go, and how to get there. We begin with the here and now, and slowly, at your own pace, unpeel the proverbial onion (which is know to cause tears) and you create your life without barriers.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want. This can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with a therapist you trust and feel comfortable with, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and choose behaviors and habits that can help you get more of what you want from life. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.

Josh Stieber
Psychologist, PhD
From the outside, you’ve “checked the boxes” like achievements, responsibilities, and competence. Yet inwardly, you may feel worn down, disconnected, or unsettled. This strain can spill into other parts of life. You thoughts things would feel more satisfying by now. But you are not alone. Many of my clients are professionals juggling work and relationships, but want to pay more attention to their inner life. Therapy can be a place for you too; a place to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and move toward greater clarity, connection, and a greater sense of wholeness.

Bryan Leach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe that therapy provides people a unique opportunity to explore and understand themselves in a way that is empowering and transformative. It’s easy to get caught up in the same routines and patterns of behavior you’ve always known, including those that don’t work for you anymore. Creating a space to delve into those patterns, explore your feelings about them, and consider new ways of being with yourself and others can be a meaningful catalyst for change.

I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual concerns, infidelity, and shifts in trust, desire, or emotional closeness that leave relationships feeling strained or uncertain.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
This is a collaborative process. I will seek to give a better question before giving an answer. I listen, reflecting back not just on what's said, but on what's underneath. Together, we increase awareness of the patterns, pressures, and emotional currents that shape how you relate to and make choices in your life. We uncover and explore any areas where anxiety, doubt, and self-criticism may take hold. I incorporate experiential techniques, along with aspects of therapeutic coaching, breathwork, and mindfulness, into my practice to foster a sense of calm and groundedness while also building insight and resilience. Our goal is not merely symptom relief, but to help you experience yourself and your relationships in different ways.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

Manhattan is one of the most therapist-dense places in the world, with independent practices concentrated on the Upper West Side, in Chelsea, Midtown, and the East Village, serving an extraordinarily high per-capita demand for mental health care. The borough's concentration of finance, media, law, and healthcare professionals generates consistent demand for therapists experienced with high-stakes careers, perfectionism, and the emotional costs of extreme professional ambition. Manhattan also serves as the entry point for many immigrants from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa, and multilingual therapists make up a significant portion of the local clinical community. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone, and numerous academic training clinics provide institutional anchors and training pipelines for the borough's large private practice ecosystem.
