I'm looking for an open-minded psychotherapist who practices in or around Santa Monica, California for talk therapy and life-strategizing. Can anyone recommend a good one?

I spent a good few years with Alan E. Clark on Wilshire. Not sure what his workload is like nowadays, but I only stopped going because I lost my insurance (and then moved across town).

I felt bad this got so few replies, but then I realized I actually knew someone! She is only out-of-network, which might be a nonstarter for you, but I had a great experience with Janice Ehrlich. I found her to be very nondirective and casual in her approach, yet still achieved a significant amount of change. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/janice-ehrlich-los-angeles-ca/40676

This is someone I know personally, so I don't have experience with her as a therapist, but I suspect she's great!
