Autism
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.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
My practice holds a significant, neurodiversity-affirming specialization in supporting individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I understand that autism is a difference in how the brain processes information, not a deficit. I help clients navigate the unique challenges of sensory processing, social communication, and intense special interests, moving beyond masking and toward authentic self-expression. Whether you are seeking a late-in-life diagnosis, or need support managing overwhelm and building meaningful connections, I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach that respects your unique strengths and needs. I also have close loved ones with high functioning autism!

Autism
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my therapeutic approach, autism is embraced as a profound spiritual journey towards awakening to one's authentic self and the process of unmasking. This perspective honors the unique way autistic individuals experience the world, focusing on the deep self-discovery that comes from navigating life with an innate depth of feeling, heightened sensitivity, and a distinct way of processing experiences. By viewing autism through this lens, we celebrate the strengths, creativity, and insights that being autistic brings, shifting away from pathologizing to understanding autism as an integral part of one's identity and spiritual path.
The core of our work together is to empower autistic individuals to live authentically, leveraging their unique gifts to lead a life of fulfillment and connection. This journey involves developing strategies to manage sensory sensitivities, enhance communication, and foster meaningful relationships, all while reducing feelings of overwhelm and self-criticism. Central to this process is the unmasking of one’s true identity, shedding societal expectations and labels to reveal the authentic self beneath.
Seeing autism as a spiritual journey of awakening and unmasking allows us to support individuals in embracing their neurodiversity as a source of healing, strength, and profound personal growth. Together, we explore the richness of the autistic experience, fostering a deep sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and joy in the journey towards self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. This approach not only affirms the value and beauty of the autistic way of being but also highlights the importance of celebrating each individual's journey towards embracing their authentic self.

15 Years Experience
Online in Inglewood, CA (Online Only)
Inglewood is an LA County city adjacent to Los Angeles with a historically significant Black community that is undergoing rapid and dramatic transformation driven by the arrival of SoFi Stadium (home of the NFL's Rams and Chargers) and Intuit Dome (home of the NBA's Clippers), and the mental health landscape is significantly shaped by the displacement anxieties, economic pressures, and cultural grief of long-term residents facing gentrification and the loss of neighborhood character. Rising housing costs are pushing out families who have been part of the Inglewood community for generations, and the psychological impacts of forced displacement—grief, anger, identity loss, and financial stress—are prominent themes in local therapy. Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health provides public services, and a private therapy sector is developing alongside the city's changing demographics. Common therapy concerns include displacement and gentrification trauma, racial identity and community belonging, economic stress, anxiety, and the complex emotions of watching a beloved community transform in ways that benefit some while excluding others.
