Annalisa Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a parent of 2 I can directly relate to the struggles of parenting. Each developmental stage comes with its own challenges that require their own set of skills and awareness. You may need to take a look at your ability to stay consistent, maintain boundaries or need for control.

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.

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.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parenting is a confusing process that has nearly a thousand ways to respond to a given situation. In Restoration Therapy, the goal is not to give you the right thing to say or do at any given moment, but rather the tools to self regulate so you can then help your child understand their feelings and eventually learn their own self regulation.

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.

Valencia is the master-planned heart of Santa Clarita, a family-oriented community north of Los Angeles known for good schools, cul-de-sac suburbia, and the Six Flags Magic Mountain skyline. Mental health needs center on parenting and adolescent pressures, commute strain for LA-bound workers, and the perfectionism that polished suburbs can quietly enforce; the community also carries the memory of the 2019 Saugus High School shooting nearby. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and a solid local practitioner base, plus LA's market, provide care.
