How to find the right therapist in Santa Monica

Online therapy continues to grow in popularity, creating more convenient ways for people in Santa Monica, California to access mental healthcare. Still, finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Many variables come into play, and finding a provider who checks all the boxes can be exhausting. You ideally want to find a licensed therapist who takes your insurance, treats the condition(s) you live with, and has openings that fit your busy schedule.

When choosing a therapist in Santa Monica, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you:

Do they accept your insurance?
Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma?
Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family?
Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious or cultural background?

Fortunately, this process isn't as difficult as it sounds! Rula takes the frustration out of finding the right Santa Monica therapist, matching you with a mental health professional who takes your insurance and matches your preferences for gender, language, availability, specialty, and more. Use our online therapist directory to connect with the right therapist in as little as two days!
