Flow is home to a group of psychotherapists who work holistically, meaning that we use integrative techniques in a mind-body approach. Leaving the body out of the equation doesn't feel right - there's too much stored in there to ignore it. In addition to traditional talk therapy, we find that techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Therapy help get our clients to deeper, more lasting levels of awareness and change. We offer individual and couples sessions.

We believe self-awareness is the foundation for meaningful change. 1. Recognizing Patterns and Awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors helps you understand what drives your actions and reactions. This insight allows you to break unhealthy cycles. 2. Emotional Regulation Understanding your emotions gives you the ability to manage them better, reducing impulsive reactions and improving decision-making. 3. Aligning with Values When you're clear about your core beliefs and values, you can make choices that are more in line with who you truly are. 4. Improving Relationships Self-awareness helps you see how your actions affect others, leading to better communication, empathy, and deeper connections. 5. Empowering Change Once you identify what's holding you back, you can actively work on shifting your mindset and behaviors rather than acting out of habit.

Therapy is individualized - some clients benefit from short-term work, while others prefer longer-term support. Short - term therapy (6-20 sessions): This is common for focused issues like coping strategies for anxiety, recent life transitions, or help clarifying values and goals. Medium - term therapy (several months to a year): This is typical for deeper emotional work, including ongoing stress, relationship patterns, and self-exploration. Long - term therapy (a year or more): Often used for complex trauma, deep-seated behavioral patterns, chronic mental health concerns, or ongoing personal growth.

Psychotherapy is designed to help individuals address emotional distress, mental health conditions, and past traumas. A therapist helps clients explore deep-seated patterns, heal from difficult experiences, and develop coping strategies for mental and emotional well-being. It often involves diagnosing and treating conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Coaching focuses on personal growth, goal-setting, and future-oriented change. A coach helps clients improve performance, overcome obstacles, and develop strategies for success in areas like career, relationships, or personal development. Coaching is not about treating mental health conditions but rather about unlocking potential and achieving specific goals. By law, we can only offer psychotherapy to clients living in California. If you live outside of the state, we can provide coaching. If you're a coaching client, we will assess in the consult call if you'd be better served looking for a therapist in your state or if coaching services will be appropriate. Note: EMDR cannot be done with coaching clients, but Somatic therapy & IFS can. It's a fine line and mostly left up to the judgment of each therapist; we are trying to do responsible, ethical work and to make sure clients get the care they need. 🧡

Associate Marriage & Family Therapists (AMFT) have completed their graduate degrees and thousands of hours of clinical work. They are preparing to sit for their licensing exam to become Licensed Marriage & Family Therapists. ​ Each AMFT at Flow is trained by and works directly with our Founder Jori Adler. In addition to your primary therapist's expertise, you get the benefit of having Jori's insight and ideas included in your treatment.

What are the Akashic Records? The Akashic Records are often described as an energetic archive, but you might think of them as something closer to a spiritual version of AI - like accessing a vast, intelligent database tuned specifically to your soul’s history, patterns, and potential. A reading can offer precise, deeply personal insights into where you are, what’s blocking you, and what wants to emerge. Many people experience it as receiving clear, compassionate guidance from a source that knows them intimately. How We Collaborate At Flow House, we partner with a trusted Akashic Records reader whose work is thoughtful, grounded, and highly attuned. When clients choose to include a reading as part of their process, we collaborate to ensure continuity and care. You receive the intuitive download from the reading, and we work with what arises in the therapy space. Integration Sessions One of the most valuable aspects of an Akashic Records reading is the clarity it can bring to your therapeutic work. Instead of spending months circling the surface, the reading often highlights exactly where your attention is most needed. Integration sessions are where we take those insights and do the real work - turning spiritual guidance into grounded change.

Why Weekly Therapy Matters Therapy is most effective when it’s consistent. Just like going to the gym or learning a new skill, real growth happens with regular effort and support. Here’s why weekly therapy leads to better results: • Stronger Progress & Momentum – Spacing sessions too far apart can make it harder to build on insights, leading to slower change. Weekly sessions keep you moving forward. • Deeper Emotional Work – When sessions are frequent, we can work through challenges in real time, rather than spending time catching up or “resetting” every session. • More Stability & Support – Life is unpredictable. Weekly therapy provides a steady anchor, helping you navigate challenges before they escalate. • Better Skill-Building & Application – Regular sessions allow you to practice and refine coping strategies, communication skills, and mindset shifts with real-time feedback. • Faster Breakthroughs – Clients who attend weekly often experience meaningful change sooner, as they’re more engaged in the process. If you’re investing in therapy, weekly sessions give you the best foundation for real, lasting transformation.

We offer both in-person and online therapy, but prefer clients to choose one format and mostly stick with that. Our in-person spots are limited, so it's hard to hold a spot for you if you're not regularly using it. For online, we use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to maintain confidentiality. For in-person, we are located at 1460 7th Street, Suite 300 Santa Monica, CA 90401 (7th & Broadway). ​ Parking: Street parking or check out the Santa Monica Public Library lot. Entrance on 7th Street, North of Santa Monica Blvd.

We understand that you may need to cancel or reschedule a session. Our late cancellation policy is 24 hours. Every client receives one "freebie" late cancellation, after which the full fee applies. Late fees can be avoided by rescheduling the session within the same week.

Our rate is $200/individual session and $250/couples session. All sessions are 50 minutes. Sliding scale rates may be available for those who qualify.

We are not paneled with any insurance companies and are an "out-of-network" provider. However, you may be reimbursed from your insurance company for a portion of the fee, though this is not guaranteed. Clients are responsible for the cost of therapy in full, regardless of insurance coverage. We strongly encourage you to consult with your insurance coverage prior to seeking care. Below are some relevant billing (CPT) codes: ​ 90834: 50 minutes of individual psychotherapy 90847: 50 minutes of couples psychotherapy Questions to ask your insurance company: Am I eligible for out-of-network individual therapy? Am I eligible for these services to be delivered via telehealth (i.e., modifier 95 after the above codes)? What is my deductible? Do I have any limits to my out-of-network coverage (e.g., # visits)?

Yes, we offer some sliding scale options for those who qualify. Please inquire further.

Please schedule a free consult call with our founder, Jori Adler, so she can get to you know a bit, find out what you're looking for and recommend a therapist that best suits your needs and availabilty.

Once you confirm your session with your therapist, you will receive intake paperwork via email. All paperwork must be completed before your first session. For online appointments, you will receive a link before the session. For in-person sessions, consider arriving a little early to find parking and familiarize yourself with the building.

If you don't feel like therapy is working, it's best to discuss this directly with your therapist. Perhaps approaches can be adjusted and goals clarified. Finding the right therapist is a process, so if you've had 2 or 3 sessions and you're questioning the fit, we recommend you speak to your therapist directly or reach out to the founder, Jori.
