My People Patterns

I'm Oliver Drakeford, LMFT & Certified Group Psychotherapist practicing in West Hollywood, CA. On this channel I share practical clinical skills that grad school glosses over — from running your first process group, to using circular questioning in family sessions, to building rapport with teens.

You'll find deep dives into structural family therapy, Bowen family systems, group therapy facilitation, couples therapy techniques, and real-world counseling skills you can use in session tomorrow. Whether you're an AMFT, APCC, intern, or newly licensed, this is the channel where theory meets practice.
