The Coastwise approach
How it works
01
Start with a brief, confidential conversation about what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping to change, and what matters to you in a therapist.
02
Because we know our clinicians, their personalities, specialties, training and therapeutic styles, we can thoughtfully recommend who we believe will fit you best.
03
Meet your therapist in San Pedro or virtually anywhere in California. If the fit does not feel right, we will help you find another option.
Not sure where to begin? Start with a conversation. We will learn what you are looking for, answer your questions, and determine which clinician may be the best fit. And if we believe another provider would serve you better, we will tell you.

Why Coastwise
Coastwise is owned by the family that built it and led clinically by the therapists who practise here. No group, no investor, no outside owner setting targets. What shapes your care is the obligation to you.
Every clinician is fully licensed and carefully screened, then supported by a collaborative team that stays invested in your progress.
Therapy built around where you want to end up, with tools you actually carry into the rest of your life.
We do not let an insurance company decide how long you stay in therapy or which approach your clinician uses. That is between you and them.
What our clients say
★★★★★
Finding the right therapist can be a lot of trial and error, finding Coastwise Counseling after a lot of trial and error in the past has been a relief for our family. We know this place has the best therapists in town because we have seen the most progress than any other therapist we've had in the past. We look forward to continuing treatment here for our family.

★★★★★
This was the best decision/gift I gave myself. I really lucked out in finding a Therapist like Steve, that made me feel confident and safe with sharing my truth. Starting Therapy can feel overwhelming and scary but Steve made it super easy and comfortable. I couldn't recommend CoastWise enough!
Jeanine S.
★★★★★
It's been almost two years now, but I just had to come back and say thanks to these guys and their outstanding staff and program. Like someone else here said...it was life-changing. I was so lost and down, I never thought I would ever be able to feel good again. Now I'm feeling interested in life again, happy, and healthy. My challenges now are just that, challenges; steps in the process of learning. For this, I will be forever grateful. This place is, by far, the best there is.
