Therapy Near Santa Monica
The office is just over the Santa Monica line, in West Los Angeles, on Santa Monica Boulevard near Centinela. If you live or work in Santa Monica, it is one straight road from you.
I see individuals and couples, and people going through a divorce. Talk sessions can also be by video, anywhere in California. EMDR and the first five couples sessions happen in the office.
I am Jon B. Pease, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, licensed in California since 2010. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, PACT and the Gottman Method, and I draw from whichever approach fits the moment best.
Getting here from Santa Monica
Take Santa Monica Boulevard east. The office is near Centinela. From most of the city you do not need to turn until you arrive.
Plan around the afternoon. Mid morning the drive is short; by late afternoon it is not. Many people keep their talk sessions on video and come in for the work that needs the room.
What I work with
Individual therapy
Trauma, anxiety, grief and life transitions, using EMDR, Brainspotting and ACR.
Couples therapy
LVVR (Listen, Validate, Validate, Repair), a method I developed, plus Gottman, PACT and Imago.
Divorce and co-parenting
Choice therapy, protecting the children, and no court work.
EMDR
What EMDR is, what a session looks like, and what it will not do.
Parents after a child’s medical journey
For parents who held it together through surgeries or years of hospitals.
Where Else to Look
My list of other places to look is on the Where Else to Look page, and the Am I a Fit page lists what I do and do not offer.
If you are in danger right now, please call or text 988, which is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. I am not an emergency service and I do not monitor messages after hours.
