Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Sometimes receiving in-person therapy is impossible because of scheduling conflicts, distance or other reasons. Being able to correspond with your therapist in a written format is a wonderful alternative to in-person therapy and it has unique advantages. For example, you will have a record of what was covered in each therapy session that you can refer to after and between sessions. This will help you remain accountable and on track to achieve your therapy goals. If getting to therapy appointments is difficult, online therapy may be worth exploring. Call me and we can discuss whether online therapy would be right for you!

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Engaging in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis via the phone or a secure video platform is an important avenue of care that must be thought through carefully. If we choose to work in this manner, it will be vital for us to discuss the various details of what it is to work therapeutically online.

Are you wanting the benefits of counseling with a trusted, licensed therapist in the safety and comfort of your own home without having to waste time and money traveling to and from an office?

3. Anonymity of not being seen by people. No more worrying about what others might think.
4. Saves you money on gas to and from a destination on a weekly basis.
5. Allows for counseling sessions with remotely located loved ones who may be overseas or across the country.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in the "success" of therapy. Meeting online gives us the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship no matter where you live or what your preference is about how to meet. I work with both individuals and couples. Some of the issues I help with are depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, trust and communication. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink and poly friendly.

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.
