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.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a parent is really tough. We all need a helping hand sometimes. As an experienced psychotherapist and a parent of a challenging young adult myself, I have helped many families find peace and harmony in the face of mental illness, divorce, and addiction. I enjoy empowering parents to explore their own family background and adapt to what’s in front of them today. I specialize in working with ADHD, OCD, and neurodivergent teens and adults.

Annalisa Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a parent of 2 I can directly relate to the struggles of parenting. Each developmental stage comes with its own challenges that require their own set of skills and awareness. You may need to take a look at your ability to stay consistent, maintain boundaries or need for control.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a therapist specializing in parenting support, I am deeply committed to helping parents navigate the richly complex journey of raising children. My practice is strongly influenced by the principles put forth by Dr. Becky Kennedy in her book "Good Inside," and Shefali Tsabary's enlightening work "The Awakened Family". I strongly believe in fostering emotional intelligence, promoting internal growth, and nurturing healthy communication within families, as underscored in these seminal works.
I see my role as not just helping parents manage daily parenting struggles, but more importantly, to guide them in cultivating a deeper understanding of their own emotions and reactions. By doing so, they can model emotional health to their children, foster stronger bonds, and cultivate a more balanced and harmonious family environment.
Whether you're dealing with tantrums, power struggles, behavioral issues, or relationship concerns, my approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively address these challenges. Drawing from the wisdom of Dr. Becky's and Dr. Tsabary's principles, we'll work together to explore mindful parenting strategies that focus on connection, empathy, and understanding.
Remember, the goal of parenting is not perfection, but growth – both for you as a parent and for your child. With patience, compassion, and understanding, we can navigate this journey together towards a healthier, happier family life.

Arazeli Wagner
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting can bring up old emotional patterns, especially for those healing from childhood wounds or generational trauma. I support parents and caregivers who want to better understand their emotional responses, break unhelpful cycles, and parent with greater intention and self-awareness. Therapy focuses on healing your inner experience so you can show up more grounded and connected in your parenting role.

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
From my own experience of parenting and grand parenting comes a heart for parents to learn how to effectively deal with their children! Never before in history has there been so much information available on the subject of parenting! And never before has there been so much confusion on the part of parents as to how best to parent - especially in this era of social media! We tend to replicate or react to the parenting we received as children. But there are tested and proven principles of parenting that can help parents learn the art and skill of dealing effectively with their children. Our goal is to raise responsible adults, not just obedient children.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
With nearly a decade of experience providing parent coaching in Los Angeles and West Hollywood, I help parents transform challenging family dynamics into opportunities for connection and growth. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and former Clinical Director of an adolescent treatment center, I've guided hundreds of parents through issues ranging from teen defiance and substance use to communication breakdowns and power struggles, using evidence-based family systems approaches that create lasting change. Located in the heart of West Hollywood, I offer both in-person and online parent coaching throughout Los Angeles, teaching practical strategies that help parents move beyond reactive discipline to become confident, effective leaders in their families. My parent coaching approach recognizes that when parents shift their patterns, the entire family system transforms—whether you're navigating typical teenage challenges or more complex issues like school refusal, gaming addiction, or blended family dynamics. Through our West Hollywood sessions, Los Angeles parents discover how small changes in their responses can create powerful ripple effects, breaking unhealthy cycles and fostering the connected, cooperative family life they desire.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While I do not have specialized training in this subject, I am a parent myself and understand the challenges of balancing personal needs, romantic needs, and showing up for your children. Parenting can also bring up memories or even trauma from our own childhood that hasn't been fully processed. Through understanding your own childhood, you can ensure you break any cycles of patterns so it does not interfere with your parenting moving forward.
