Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Parenting can be deeply meaningful, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially when children are experiencing big emotions, behavioral challenges, or developmental differences. I work with parents who want to better understand their child’s emotional world while also finding more confidence and calm in their parenting.
My approach integrates attachment-based therapy and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help parents understand their child’s behavior through a developmental and nervous system lens. Together, we explore practical strategies that support emotional regulation, strengthen parent-child connection, and reduce family stress. I also support parents raising neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD or autism, helping families create environments where children feel understood, supported, and able to thrive.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a parent is really tough. We all need a helping hand sometimes. As an experienced psychotherapist and a parent of a challenging young adult myself, I have helped many families find peace and harmony in the face of mental illness, divorce, and addiction. I enjoy empowering parents to explore their own family background and adapt to what’s in front of them today. I specialize in working with ADHD, OCD, and neurodivergent teens and adults.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Parenting can bring marked stress, uncertainty, and challenges that are difficult to navigate alone. I help parents better understand family dynamics, improve communication, set effective boundaries, and respond to their children with greater consistency and confidence while also making space for their own needs and well-being.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a lesson in contrast. High stress, high fulfillment, the answer to meaning and purpose and the question of ability and function. It can be lonely, isolating, and stressful. It can challenge the best of relationships. It forces us to redefine our sense of Self, and how we connect with others. Let's sort through it!

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. Parenting a child with special needs, or a 2E kid is typically an even tougher job, and it's also uniquely beautiful. I am a mom to two school-aged kids and I do get it on a personal and professional level. In the past, I've worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids and their parents at multiple Los Angeles area K-12 schools. Currently, I often support parents of HSP/Neurodivergent and/or Gifted kids.
