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.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
Parenting is a very hard, beautiful job. Parenting a child with special needs, or a 2E kid is typically an even tougher job, and it's also uniquely beautiful. I am a mom to two school-aged kids and I do get it on a personal and professional level. In the past, I've worked as a School Counselor and School-based therapist with kids and their parents at multiple Los Angeles area K-12 schools. Currently, I often support parents of HSP/Neurodivergent and/or Gifted kids.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting will be one of the most challenging events of your life -- often a life long journey. With today's stressful outside influences, parents are often confused about what to do or how to help their children. Children and teens are faced with options and decisions never before a part of childhood. Parents need helpful tools and ideas -- and how to be consistent in parenting.
