Five Tips On How To Have A Happier Family
As a Family Systems Therapist, I work to help families feel closer and more connected in an effort to reduce symptoms and increase well-being.
Mr Oliver Drakeford
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“As the Clinical Director of an adolescent residential treatment center, I enjoyed working with families and providing systemic treatment for families and couples.”
About Me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Hollywood, California. I treat addiction, anxiety, and LGBTQI+ concerns in adolescents and adults. I provide family therapy plus practical coping and relapse-prevention skills for you and your family.
Approach
My approach to therapy is influenced by my enthusiasm for classical psychodynamic theory that was the foundation of my two year training at the esteemed Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills. This was enhanced with a certification from the Los Angeles Institute and Association for Psychoanalytic Studies (LAISPS), and a foundation course at The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP). I strive to constantly enhance my approach using contemporary influences, from Mentalization Based Training, and from the extensive cultural sensitivity work at Antioch University, where I was in the LGBT Specialization. I continue training in Modern Group Analytic theory at the Center for Group Studies in New York. As a family therapist, I focus on communication in family counseling, as it pertains to understanding the family dynamics, conflict and connection.
