Katie Blake
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals and couples who are feeling the lasting effects of past trauma and are ready to begin the healing process and move forward. With more than 12 years of experience treating complex trauma (C-PTSD), I bring extensive knowledge and care to this work. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). I consider both approaches to be highly effective in addressing and resolving trauma.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Throughout our work together, I offer compassion, guidance, and steady support.

I'm Ross Kellogg, M.S., LMFT and I offer online psychotherapy for adults in California, Washington, and North Carolina. I focus my practice primarily on adult survivors of childhood abuse but also work with depression and anxiety. I work with adults that may be working on inner child issues, PTSD or CPTSD, codependency, dissociative symptoms, and other factors often relating to emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, or sexual abuse. Reach out today for a free consultation with me so we can further discuss your needs and develop a therapy plan that will lead to lasting change. I also offer couples therapy with a integrated Emotionally Focused and Gottman Method approach.
My additional specialty is couples therapy. I utilize Gottman Method Couples Therapy in addition to Emotionally Focused Couples therapy. In my work with couples, partners find relief from infidelity, repair of recurring conflict, improved intimacy, and reconnection of life dreams. Reach out to me today to further discuss your needs in a free consultation. Consultations can include one or both partners and I'm happy to do individual consultation calls with each partner if needed.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
You might find yourself reacting in ways you later regret, getting pulled into the same relationship dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to take over. Our sessions focus on helping you understand the functions of emotions or behavioral patterns that are hard to change, and supporting you in feeling equipped to experiment with new ways of being.
In sessions, I don’t just sit back and listen. I’m engaged, thoughtful, honest, and precise in my work - I value understanding your internal experience as accurately as possible and tailoring treatment to closely match your needs. I’ll help you slow things down, name what’s happening in real time, and connect it to larger patterns—while also building concrete skills to help you respond differently. My work is grounded in DBT and relational therapy, so we’re balancing insight with practical change.
I have particular expertise in emotion dysregulation and complex relationship patterns, including when things feel intense, confusing, or hard to control. I also work with people whose struggles are less obvious, but still leave them feeling stuck or dissatisfied. I offer telehealth sessions in California and New York.

Courtney Whetstone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Let’s start with the fact that life is HARD! It can be overwhelming and one wild ride! When we add loss, anxiety, and relationship issues to the mix it can be hard to know where to turn. I offer a safe place to explore all the issues holding you back from living a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. I believe that you are the most important part of your treatment and it needs to relate to your life in a way that works for you. I will challenge you to overcome the obstacles you see in your life and support you with positive feedback. I bring in a caring and compassionate energy and see you for who you are.

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.
