​​Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you're having a difficult time in life or are seeking therapy for the first time. I'm Dr. Rachel Lauber, a licensed psychologist in Santa Monica with over 25 years of experience. I specialize in helping adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.​

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—one that helps you feel heard, understood, and equipped with real tools to create meaningful change. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, and I have a special focus on maternal mental health, supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and all the challenges that come with it.

If you're ready to take the next step, I’d love to help. Reach out anytime with questions or to schedule a phone consultation to see if we're a good fit.
