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.

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.

As a mother of a 2 year-old, I know how important it is to recognize the needs and milestones of our children. I specialize in supporting parents through the complexities and challenges of raising children and adolescents through a developmentally informed, attachment-based lens, to help you move beyond reactive parenting to intentional, effective connection. Whether you are navigating behavioral issues, managing family stress, co-parenting challenges, or supporting a child with neurodevelopmental differences like ADHD or ASD, I provide practical strategies for enhancing communication, setting consistent boundaries, and fostering emotional intelligence.

Parenting
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Even the most loving parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or discouraged when their child’s needs or behaviors seem difficult to manage. I specialize in helping parents understand the “why” behind their child’s emotions and behaviors, develop effective communication and discipline strategies, and restore a sense of confidence and calm within the family.
My work with parents often focuses on navigating developmental changes, improving parent–child relationships, and managing challenges such as anxiety, defiance, emotional regulation difficulties, and family transitions. For parents raising children with unique emotional or behavioral needs, therapy offers tools for setting appropriate limits while maintaining empathy and connection.
When co-parenting after divorce or separation, I provide structured support to help parents maintain consistency, reduce conflict, and protect children from adult stressors. I also assist foster, adoptive, and blended families as they navigate attachment and identity issues that can surface throughout a child’s development.
Grounded in cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, sessions focus on increasing emotional awareness, enhancing communication, and promoting a calmer, more connected family environment. My goal is to help parents feel equipped, supported, and empowered to raise resilient, emotionally secure children—while also caring for themselves in the process.

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.
