Professional statement

Katie Rowbotham is a compassionate Marriage and Family Psychotherapist based in Santa Monica, CA. Specializing in guiding young adults through life transitions, Katie embraces an intuitive and holistic approach to therapy. She believes that all aspects of our lives are interconnected, creating a dynamic interplay that influences our sense of self. I work with people who want to shift difficult relationship experiences. You may be feeling stuck in patterns in their life and relationships, wanting more. You may feel a good sense for understanding of your past but feel there is a missing link to having more of what you desire. Healing is sacred and it should feel that way, I hope to create that experience with you.

Katie earned her Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, focusing on Mindfulness, Trauma and Recovery, and Addiction. She also has a background in Psychedelic Therapy, emphasizing the preparation and integration of awareness-expanding experiences.

With a trauma-informed lens, Katie emphasizes somatic experiencing, helping clients connect their mind and body to facilitate healing. She believes the body holds stress and trauma that locks in patterns until we are able to be with those parts of ourselves to unwind them. She combines education, practical tools, and skill-building with a deep focus on the experiential process of healing. Currently, she is furthering her training in Somatic Experiencing and Psychedelic Integration practices, which she is passionate about both personally and professionally.

For those on the Westside, Katie offers in-person sessions at her Santa Monica office most weekdays. She also provides Telehealth sessions via Zoom for California residents unable to visit her in person.


Message to clients

Hello there! In the world of therapy, I believe building a comfortable and easeful connection is the single most important ingredient for healing. If you're ready to explore those parts of yourself that might be holding you back or feeling stuck in the same ol' thing- you've come to the right place.

My therapeutic approach is all about embracing your uniqueness and understanding every aspect of yourself. Think of our sessions as a journey where we uncover how your past experiences have shaped the patterns and behaviors you're living with today. Often times this is done through creating a connection and giving a voice to the memories adn messages held in your body.

Are you curious about what lies beneath the surface of your thoughts and emotions? I hope to co-create a space where you feel the liberty to explore all the parts of yourself. Together, we'll explore more than just words – we'll tap into the wisdom of your body. Through somatic practices, you build a deeper awareness and trust in your inner self. Beyond talking, you'll teach your nervous system to find safety and comfort in your emotions, paving the way for meaningful change.

I also work with folks to integrate Psychedelic experiences, weaving the unveilings into practical and spiritual life applications. Finding meaning that creates practical change for your highest good is a creative art form I'm passionate about practicing.

If you feel a connection with what you've read here, I invite you to reach out.
