Psychoanalytic
Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.

Monica Thoelke
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe in the power of making a therapeutic connection with my clients and treating each client as an individual. I believe in client centered approaches and not forcing a single therapeutic framework on anyone. Our unique life experiences should be treated as that. I feel this approach truly inspires clients to create the changes they seek. This means that I use a variety of approaches such as: Adlerian therapy, DBT, CBT, Somatic and Art Therapy to address a wide range of issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex trauma.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi, my name is Monica Huston. I feel genuinely driven to help individuals, couples, and families work through the challenges that can feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of on your own.
My approach to therapy is thoughtful and grounded in understanding what’s beneath the surface. I pay close attention to patterns, relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to shape the present. I aim to create a space that feels both steady and honest—where you can slow down, explore what’s really going on, and begin to experience yourself and your relationships differently over time.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
I believe that life becomes the most satisfying and fulfilling when the relationships we have with our 'Self,' with 'Others,' and our 'Family' are healthy and balanced.
Most often, the issues and problems that bring people into therapy in my West Hollywood office result from imbalances and relationship problems in any of these areas that is impeding their personal growth and living a fulfilling life.
