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.

Rachel Thomasian
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Parenting can be deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging at the same time. I work with parents to strengthen connection, improve communication, and navigate behavioral, emotional, and developmental concerns with greater confidence and calm. Together, we build practical tools that support both the child’s well-being and the parent’s own resilience.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When your children were born, were you given the official parenting class? The one that answers all your questions about how to raise a child? No?
When mine were born, I wasn't given the class either. I wish I could have seen me about my children back in the days when it would have done me some good!

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
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.

Kim Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, ATR
As a mom to two teens, I get it. Personally and professionally. I especially enjoy working with new parents and also parents who have kids with extra needs, whether those extra needs be due to medical conditions, neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, giftedness, PDA, leaning differences) or anything else, I am a therapist who understands. I also have experience in helping parents navigate burnout and/or processing wounds from their own childhoods.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.
