Dr. Stephanie Miodus
My name is Dr. Stephanie Miodus, and I am a Licensed Psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP). I focus on providing comprehensive assessments, as well as therapy and other interventions, tailored to each individual's needs. I specialize in evaluating and providing interventions for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and a range of developmental concerns. My goal is to help children, adolescents, and adults gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and challenges, empowering them to access the resources and support necessary for growth.
I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strength-based approach, offering evidence-backed strategies customized to each person’s unique needs. In addition to my work with neurodevelopmental differences, I have extensive experience supporting individuals who are adopted and those impacted by trauma or chronic illness. My trauma-informed framework ensures that every client feels safe, respected, and empowered throughout our work together. Everyone’s path is different, and my goal is to walk alongside you in a collaborative, solution-focused process. Whether you are seeking clarity through evaluation or strategies to support daily life, I am here to help you or your child reach meaningful goals and thrive.

How I Can Help
I offer personalized psychological evaluations using evidence-based tools like the ADOS-2 to provide clear, accurate diagnoses for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental disabilities, as well as meaningful insights into social, emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and academic functioning. My assessments also address areas such as giftedness, selective mutism, private school admissions, and pre-adoption evaluations. Whether you are looking to obtain academic accommodations, better understand specific strengths and challenges, or access specialized services, I am here to support you and your family every step of the way. Each evaluation includes a detailed, easy-to-understand report and a feedback session tailored to help you take the next steps with confidence.
Beyond evaluations, I offer social skills groups, executive function coaching, and autism-focused consultations. I also provide therapy for children, teens, and young adults along with coaching for parents, caregivers, and nannies. My office is conveniently located on the Upper East Side, and I also offer telehealth services for clients across New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
