Craig Kain, PhD
Psychologist, Psychologist
I believe that at times it is difficult for us to see things clearly. My goal is to help you re-adjust your way of looking at yourself and your world, and to help you realize what is possible. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between you and me.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Parent coaching is frequently a focus of the work I do. I support parents in shifting out of using anger and intimidation while at the same time maintaining healthy authority and responsibility with their kids. Often I assist in developing and implementing rewards based behavior management strategies, as well as in integrating positive parenting approaches. Reunification of parents with children when their has been some kind of disruption to their parenting relationship is an area in which I have considerable experience, as is helping divorced and divorcing couples effectively co-parent.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
Parenting is a rewarding yet complex journey. As a psychoanalytic therapist, I understand that your own upbringing and unconscious dynamics can influence your parenting style. Together, we can explore how your past experiences might be shaping your present interactions with your child. By bringing these unconscious patterns to light, you can build a stronger connection with your child, fostering empathy, effective communication, and a more fulfilling parenting experience.

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.
