Parents are not always able to guess their children need. A major reason why children and adolescents often experience difficulty with developing individuality in their emotional growth, is the need for self-validation, self-expression and boundaries in discovering the difference in right & wrong.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I love working with parents. I am a parent myself, and without support, I am not sure how the role of parent is manageable. I have extensive experience working with new parents, parents of neurodivergent children (specifically autism and ADHD), parents navigating advocating for support for their children, lesbian parents, queer parents, trans parents, parents who have lost a sense of identity outside of parenthood, navigating parenting with careers, and navigating parenting with illness.

Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If being a kid or teen isn't hard enough, parenting one (or several) def is. It's so difficult to manage our emotions and our kid's emotions simultaneously and sometimes it can feel like there's never a break! Allow me to hold the space for you to explore the parent you are vs the parent you want to be, while reminding you, you're still human and have a great identity outside of being a parent.

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.

Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
I believe in the importance of collaboration because there is no such thing as 'just a child'—there is always a child and the relationships that surround them. That’s why I work closely with parents when supporting children and teens, ensuring a holistic approach to their care. Together, we discuss treatment goals and progress, fostering a supportive environment that nurtures the well-being of the young individuals. This partnership strengthens the effectiveness of therapy, promoting positive growth and development to help children and teens thrive both in and out of therapy.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a lesson in contrast. High stress, high fulfillment, the answer to meaning and purpose and the question of ability and function. It can be lonely, isolating, and stressful. It can challenge the best of relationships. It forces us to redefine our sense of Self, and how we connect with others. Let's sort through it!

I work with clients to help them build healthier, more respectful and connected relationships with their children (at any age).

Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Becoming parents can dramatically change a couple’s relationship, especially when sleep, responsibilities, careers, and competing expectations enter the picture. I work with parents in California, Texas and Florida who want to feel like partners again rather than simply two people managing a household. We focus on communication, division of labor, conflict, connection, and creating a stronger sense of teamwork.

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.
