Dr. Shelby Kittinger

Parenting can evoke deep attachment patterns and stir unresolved emotions from our own childhoods. I work with parents to understand these dynamics, increase self-compassion, and cultivate relational attunement that supports both their children and themselves.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is one of life's most rewarding experiences—and one of its most challenging. Whether you're navigating behavioral issues, communication struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of raising children, support can make a meaningful difference. My goal is to empower you with tools and insights that work for your unique family. Parenting doesn't come with a manual, but you don't have to figure it out alone. Together, we'll build on your strengths and create positive change that benefits everyone in your family.

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.

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.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is not for the faint of heart! It often brings up unexpected emotions, fears and our own childhood experiences-good and bad. Whether as an adjunct service to your child's service or part of your own therapy process, I use an attachment based model to help you explore and understand how your history and experiences shape parenting values and practices, increase understanding of developmental needs and expectations, and learn strategies to improve connection and relationship functioning.

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.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
For some reason, kids don't come with instruction manuals. Even the best parents struggle sometimes and could benefit from an objective guide through the ambiguous world of parenting, where there are almost never clear-cut answers to the tough questions. By talking with a professional you can learn to parent in a way that respects all parties and aligns with your values.
