Sunaina 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, Dr. Jain 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 is currently preparing the release of Growing Children™️, a program for parents, that has evolved from her experiences working with families over the last three decades. Dr. Jain continues to learn from her interactions with children, families and presenting workshops.
