Autism
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
Living with autism or Asperger's means experiencing the world in a way that others do not always understand. The sensory overload, the social exhaustion, the feeling of constantly trying to translate yourself for a world that was not quite built with you in mind. It can be isolating. And it can be exhausting in ways that are hard to put into words.
At CCW International, we see you. We understand that neurodivergent clients need more than a one-size-fits-all approach. They need a therapist who is curious, patient, and genuinely interested in understanding how your mind works, not trying to fit you into a mold.
We work with autistic adults and those with Asperger's profiles to navigate relationships, communication, sensory challenges, anxiety, and the emotional weight that often comes with feeling different. Our goal is never to change who you are. It is to help you thrive as exactly who you are, with the right tools, the right support, and a space where you never have to mask.
You belong here.

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.
