About Miki Lasher, PhD

Miki Lasher, PhD, is a clinical psychologist at Brightline’s White Plains clinic and also provides online care to families in Connecticut. Dr. Lasher specializes in psychological evaluations with kids and teens, with a primary focus on diagnostic clarifications of ADHD, autism, learning disorders, and anxiety. 

Dr. Lasher has engaged in therapy for kids and parents and worked in private practice, outpatient clinics, and hospitals including integrated healthcare programs. She loves psychological evaluation because she views it as a type of detective work; she enjoys trying to figure out how a person thinks, learns, and perceives themselves and others, and how this impacts their functioning and behavior.

What is a psychologist?

Our psychologists are independently licensed providers who have completed their doctoral degree (which means they are a doctor of philosophy or psychology), including a pre-doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship. They are qualified to do diagnostic evaluations, therapy, and psychological testing. Psychologists do not prescribe medication, but they are able to directly refer families who need that service to a Brightline psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner.
