What should I look for when choosing a marriage therapist in Santa Monica?

Start with licensure: make sure they're actually licensed in Santa Monica. Then check whether they treat what you're dealing with, whether that's communication problems, anxiety, or something more specific. After that, look at insurance and cost, and decide if you want online sessions or in-person.

Marriage therapists listed in Santa Monica charge an average of $199 per session. That number moves around depending on the therapist, how long the session runs, and whether insurance covers any of it, so check the actual rate on each profile.

Does Marriage.com work with therapists outside my state, or only local ones?

Only therapists licensed in Santa Monica will show up for you. That's not a Marriage.com rule, it's how therapy licensing works in general, even for online sessions. Filter by state and you'll see who's actually eligible to see you.

How do I find a marriage therapist in Santa Monica?

Search the directory for Santa Monica and filter by specialty, insurance, and session format, online or in-person. Each profile shows the therapist's license status, areas of focus, and accepted insurance, so you can compare before reaching out.

No. You can search and browse therapist profiles in Santa Monica without creating an account. You'll only need one when you're ready to book a session or message a therapist directly.

Is what I share with my marriage therapist confidential?

Yes. Licensed marriage therapists are bound by confidentiality laws and professional ethics codes, with limited exceptions required by law, such as risk of harm to yourself or others. It's worth asking your therapist about their specific confidentiality policy during your first session.
