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.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
My practice primarily serve neurodivergent folks with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD and I am also a neurodivergent clinician. While I am not able to provide formal diagnostic assessment for autism, I have experience supporting diagnosed and undiagnosed autistic folks with deepening their self-knowledge, improving communication, improving emotional identification + understanding (alexithymia), and finding routines to support self-care. Whether you’re looking for psychoeducation, general emotional processing, or functional strategies to support healthy routines, I would be both happy and honored to support you.
7 Years Experience

Allentown is the Lehigh Valley's largest city and the subject of Billy Joel's song about deindustrialization—a fitting reference for a city that has navigated significant post-industrial economic transition while working to define a new identity beyond its steel and manufacturing past. The city has one of Pennsylvania's largest Puerto Rican populations, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape; bilingual practitioners are in significant demand to serve a Latino community that now represents more than half of the city's population. Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's University Health Network both operate behavioral health programs in the region, and a private therapy sector serves those with the means to access it. Common therapy concerns include economic transition stress, immigration and diaspora identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the particular challenges of a majority-minority city working to build a shared community identity in the shadow of its industrial past.
