Director
Dr. Jain received her doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Connecticut
in 1975. After five years at a child and family clinic in Canada, she moved to Atlanta and
started a private practice working with children and families. She focused on children's
attention and learning challenges, and how these problems affect children's emotional health
and the lives of their families. Through her work with children in foster care, Dr. Jain
learned how attention and learning are intertwined with a stable and enriched environment
for growth.
In 1991, she opened Pathways Transition Programs to bring together and train a group of
clinicians dedicated to a "whole-life," or integrated, approach to helping individuals
and families in distress. In 2000, she started New Learning Center, a non-profit agency
specializing in issues relevant to women and girls.
Dr. Jain continues to work with families and children, refining the
"Kaleidoscope Model" and training professionals who work with children and families.
She has also developed "Growing Children," a program for parents that has evolved from
her experiences working with families for the last thirty years. Dr. Jain continues to learn
from her interactions with children, families and presenting workshops.
Dr. Jain is the mother of two grown daughters. She enjoys yoga, reading, music and travel.
