About Me

​

Welcome. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Santa Monica, CA, and have been practicing psychotherapy for over 25 years. I understand how difficult it can be to choose a therapist you feel comfortable with and think can help you overcome your difficulties. I hope this information will help you decide if I am a good fit for you.

​

My therapeutic style is collaborative, authentic, interactive, and empathic. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental place for you to explore your concerns and aim to provide you with concrete strategies and techniques to create long-lasting change.

​

Since the beginning of my training, I have focused on evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based strategies, to provide my clients with the most effective treatments available. In more recent years, I have developed a specialization in helping women during the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum). My belief in the importance of interpersonal neurobiology and attachment has also led me to become certified in both Emotionally Focused Therapy and Peaceful ParentingYou can read more about my education and experience at the bottom of this page.

​

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my practice at info@drrachellauber.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
