Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Working with clients suffering from anxiety, I provide supportive and educational psychotherapy while --in collaboration with my clients-- introducing them to exposure and response prevention methods. I usually encourage clients to obtain a medical evaluation to consider psychotropic medications, such as serotonergic agents. Integrating methods from CBT, the biological sciences, and humanistic perspectives, as a student of Buddhism, I also offer experience with mindfulness meditation and other contemplative approaches in conjunction with self-compassion in accordance with clients' interests.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Being afraid and anxious is horrible! You feel trapped and overwhelmed and, when it's happening, you can't even remember what it feels like to be okay. The best thing to do is to recognize the problem and do something about it. Counseling can really help you understand what you are truly afraid of, which usually isn't the thing we think we're afraid of. I can help you sort all this out. Don't put it off any more! You CAN get your anxiety under control.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety comes from the fear of getting hurt again or from the perpetual anxiety rooted in experiences of having been perpetually unsafe. In the first instance, the person fears that the source of their pain will happen again and tries to avoid it at all costs. In the second situation, the person looks out at the world and sees the worst possible scenario in everything. Regardless of what your anxieties or phobias are, we want you to know that you can overcome anxiety, emotionally stabilize, and regain control of your emotional and relational well being.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is an important emotion that allows us get out of harm’s way and also provides us with fuel for important events. Anxiety warns us when we need to take action. If anxiety becomes unmanageable, impairing or distressing; it no longer is useful and may cross the fine line of becoming a disorder.
Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric illnesses affecting children and adults. Approximately, 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. Sadly, about one-third of those individuals suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. Increase in public awareness is essential in informing the public that anxiety disorders are highly treatable.
If you experience anxiety that is persistent, seemingly uncontrollable, and overwhelming it may be indicative of an anxiety disorder. If it is an excessive, illogical fear of everyday situations, it can be disabling. When anxiety interferes with your daily activities, you may have an anxiety disorder.
The term “anxiety disorder” refers to a group of anxiety disorders that includes: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia), and specific phobias.
However, if worries, fears, or anxiety attacks seem overwhelming and are stopping you from living your life in a manner that suits you, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Gratefully, many treatments and self-help strategies for anxiety disorders can help you significantly decrease your anxiety symptoms, manage anxiety attacks, and reclaim your life.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Anxiety and fear are some of the most common issues that many of us struggle with and can be some of the most unrecognized. Chronic stress and anxiety can go undiagnosed and can manifest in physical ailments. Not only does chronic anxiety reduce the body's immune system causing one to get sick more often, but it leads to an overall impediment to life. The paralysis of fear can prevent us from moving in the direction of our life goals, and the uncertainties that lead to anxiety can rob us of enjoying our life in the moment. I specialize in helping individuals to explore and understand these fears, find solutions and tools, reprocess the underlying emotions, and to start to live a life with less fear and more health, hope, wellness and happiness.

In my work with clients experiencing anxiety and fear, I use a blended therapeutic approach drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Therapy. I help clients identify specific, achievable goals (SFBT), challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns (CBT), and strengthen their internal motivation for change and growth (Motivational Therapy). This integrative method empowers clients to regain control, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
