Therapist in Santa Monica, California,
Kathy Eliassian, LMFT

Everyone faces difficulties, which can range from traumatic losses to everyday stressors. My aim is to provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can cultivate self-awareness, experience personal growth and healthy psychological development to ultimately achieve a healthier and more balanced emotional and behavioral response to life stressors.
I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist trained in various evidenced based treatment modalities and interventions. I earned my graduate degree from Pepperdine University in Clinical Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy, and my clinical philosophy is grounded in psychodynamic, family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults and specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, loss and grief, trauma, interpersonal stressors, and social and emotional problems. I am passionate about helping individuals understand how their unconscious patterns of thinking, behaviors and emotions influence various aspects of their life with the goal of modifying and creating new and more adaptive beliefs that promote positive change.
