Faith Szalay
Psychologist, Psy.D, M.A.
Relationship troubles develop over time. Feelings can become buried and hurts can turn to resentments. As couples lose the ability to connect, intimacy can be undermined. I help couples to revalue their relationships by uncovering the unspoken contract, the disappointments and a way back.

Connection is everything. In relationship/marriage counseling, I help clients create safety and experience deeper levels of connection in their relationship. Whether you are overcoming infidelity, looking to improve communication, having issues in the bedroom or just looking to experience more growth, I want to help you do that...After all, you got into your relationship for a reason, I want to help you get back to that reason and experience one another in a way that is even more meaningful.

Christopher Schadt
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in working with men individually who want to be able to connect more deeply to the ones that they love. Whether it's limited emotional expression, social norms about how men are allowed to be with one another, difficulty asking for help, etc., men are conditioned more to perform and achieve than they are to connect with one another. In reality, both are possible and everything we do is more effective and enjoyable when we aren't doing it alone.

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.
