Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Stress seriously impacts your emotional health, as well as your physical health. It keeps you from thinking clearly and functioning effectively. It can even impact the most important relationships in your life. But no matter how stressful your life seems, there are steps you can take to relieve the pressure and regain control. In fact, the simple admission that stress has taken over your life is the first step in learning how to manage it. Stress management is all about taking charge of your lifestyle, thoughts, emotions, and the way you deal with problems. I can help you sort everything out, figure out your priorities, and structure a plan so stress doesn’t run your life – YOU do!

Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
General stress is a valid reason for seeking therapy. The majority of clients are subclinical, looking for ways to manage stress and triggers before they develop into conflict, mental illness, or disease. The demands of modern life are set up to leave us neglecting our true selves —so feeling stress is a sign of your humanity, and a place for us explore what works best for you.

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is managed by knowing our own capacity and limitations. As a mindfulness facilitator I often bring these techniques into my work with clients and focus on the 3 As - Acknowledgement, Allowance, and Acceptance. My favorite Zen proverb is "If you understand, things are just as they are. If you don't understand, things are just as they are." You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you relate to them and that usually changes everything. With clients I explore where change is possible and where acceptance is the change that is needed for equanimity.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and one of the most underestimated. Chronic stress erodes relationships, health, and the ability to be present for what matters most. We help clients identify the sources of their stress, develop sustainable coping strategies, and make the practical and emotional changes needed to actually feel better, not just cope better.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You may be managing a lot; work, relationships, responsibilities, and still feel like it’s never enough or that you can’t slow down. Many clients come in feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted, constantly “on,” and unsure how to truly rest without guilt. In therapy, we’ll look at both the external demands and the internal pressures driving your stress. Together, we’ll create space for balance, boundaries, and a way of functioning that feels more sustainable.

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.
