Dr. Rachel LauberPsychologist, PsyD

About

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in Santa Monica with over 25 years of experience working with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or worn down by patterns that are hard to break—overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. Many of the people I work with are capable and high-functioning on the outside, yet internally feel chronically stressed or emotionally exhausted. Clients often come to me after trying to cope on their own or having been in therapy before, and are looking for a warm, structured, and thoughtful approach that supports real, lasting change. View 6 Photos My approach is collaborative and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies. I focus on understanding patterns over time, not just managing symptoms. Sessions are active and supportive, helping clients build emotional regulation, clearer communication, and more sustainable ways of relating to themselves and others.
