Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The way we parent our children is deeply shaped by our own upbringing—both by what felt nurturing and by what may have caused harm. I work with my clients to reflect on these early experiences and to thoughtfully examine the beliefs guiding how they are raising, or hope to raise, their own children. Together, we explore how parenting—and re-parenting ourselves—can become a meaningful expression of our values, intentions, and sense of purpose, while also creating space for healing and growth across generations.

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.

Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Parenting and co-parenting are vital to healthy families and yet we don't grow up taking classes or receiving formal instruction on how to do it! Parenting work dives into these uncharted waters. I use an approach called reflective parenting that helps shift around common perspectives in order to build awareness of children's experiences. As well, I help parents redefine the family boundaries in ways that are stronger and safer for all.

I run several groups for parents providing education and support to parents of adolescents and young adults. These groups allow parents to gain answers to questions and support for the difficult job of parenting adolescents and young adults today. I also work with parents of adolescents to identify what strategies might help to strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Parenthood so often brings our own childhoods back into the forefront of our minds. The ways we were cared for; the ways we were misunderstood; and the ways we were criticized or left alone can quietly shape how we respond to our own kids, especially during their tantrums or moments of uncertainty. In psychoanalytic therapy, we make space for the full complexity of parenting, including love, anger, guilt, worry, resentment, and the wish to not screw it up for our kids. Therapeutic work can help you distinguish your child’s needs from the echoes of your own history, so you can parent with greater emotional certainty and a more authentic trust in yourself.

Universal City is the entertainment enclave around Universal Studios in the Cahuenga Pass, where theme-park, production, and hospitality workers power one of LA's signature destinations. Mental health needs follow the industry — precarious creative and service employment, irregular hours, and the gap between glamour and paycheck reality. The surrounding LA therapy market, including entertainment-specialized practitioners in the Valley and Hollywood, serves the workforce.
