Autism and Asperger's
Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with autistic individuals and families in a neurodiversity-affirming way that recognizes autism as a different way of experiencing and processing the world rather than something that needs to be “fixed.” Many autistic adults and parents seek support around sensory overwhelm, emotional regulation, relationships, burnout, and navigating environments that are not always designed with neurodivergent needs in mind.
My approach focuses on understanding each person’s nervous system, communication style, and strengths while building practical strategies that support regulation, self-advocacy, and meaningful connection. I also support parents of autistic children in better understanding their child’s developmental and sensory needs, helping families reduce stress and create environments where children can feel safe, understood, and supported to thrive.

Autism and Asperger's
Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I specialize in supporting couples where one or both partners are on the autism spectrum. Communication differences, sensory needs, and social misunderstandings can create painful disconnection, even when love is strong. In therapy, I help partners better understand one another’s experiences, reduce conflict, and build bridges of empathy. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming—I focus on strengths while addressing the unique challenges autism can bring to intimacy, daily life, and relationships.

Autism and Asperger's
Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
As an autistic therapist myself, I know what it's like to live in a world not designed for us. Masking our sensory sensitivities and emotional overwhelm can leave us depleted and unable to function. I can help you manage executive dysfunction, understand your sensory profile, better manage emotions, and learn to unmask and get to know your true, authentic self. I value your passions, quirks, and individuality, and I focus on unveiling your strengths and helping you use them to your advantage to live a more fulfilling life.
