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.

Ellen White
Life Coach, Life & Relationship Coach
I work with clients to help them build healthier, more respectful and connected relationships with their children (at any age). I aim to take a lot of the guess work and stress out of building a long lasting relationship with your children. In turn, this helps kids feel a greater self confidence/esteem, develop good character, and weather life’s challenges better.

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.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I know you love your child more than anything, and I also know that in addition to being infinitely rewarding, being a parent can also be pretty dang hard. Balancing your own needs with the needs of everyone else who relies on you is not an easy task. I help parents with parenting techniques and improving the parent-child relationship, but my main focus is emotional support. I firmly believe that in order to take care of others, we must take care of ourselves. The kinder and more patient you are with yourself, the more kind and patient you can be with your child - and the more you can model for your child how they can be good to themselves. You are already doing an amazing job, let's work together to decrease conflict in the home and increase the well-being of you, your child, and your family.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting puts enormous pressure on even the strongest relationships. Disagreements about discipline, different parenting styles, and the sheer exhaustion of raising children can quietly erode connection between partners. We help parents get on the same page, communicate more effectively, and strengthen both their partnership and their family dynamic — so the whole family benefits.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
As a parent myself, I know that parenting is not always easy and most parents have moments when they are unfortunately not the parents they would ideally like to be. The key is to learn from those times, work out what led to them and figure out a better way forward. If we work together on parenting, I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and goals so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I put together a draft treatment plan, with input from you, so the details will depend on the person. I'm non-judgmental and just focussed on helping you get to where you want to be in your parenting. You obviously can't control your children, but you can control the decisions and actions you take as a parent. I hope to help you to get to a place where you feel comfortable and good about yourself as a parent.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
