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.

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.

San Bernardino has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime of any California city, and its therapists frequently work with community-level trauma, economic stress, and the compounding psychological effects of systemic disinvestment — challenges that have intensified through a city bankruptcy, rising homelessness, and limited public resources. The city has a predominantly Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve essential access roles in communities where language barriers and financial precarity limit engagement with conventional mental health services. Arrowhead Regional Medical Center provides the primary institutional mental health anchor for San Bernardino County's most vulnerable populations, with a private therapy community serving the university and suburban corridors. California State University San Bernardino's psychology programs supply some clinical training to the region, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains significantly underserved.
