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.

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!

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.

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, APCC
When counseling parents, we try to emphasize good communication skills as part of the foundation of any parental relationship and utilize our vast training and experience to help families break negative cycles and see themselves as being on the same team, rather than as adversaries as they work through specific issues that are a challenge to having a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
