San Pedro, California · In person & virtual
For more than fifty years, the Coastwise family has been part of San Pedro. We take the time to understand what you are facing, then pair you with a licensed clinician who genuinely fits, in person at our practice on 7th Street or virtually across California.
No forms, no waitlist call center. A real conversation, usually the same day.
The Coastwise approach
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.
Talk with usHow 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.
Meet your team
Skilled, specialized, and genuinely collaborative, our therapists consult with each other and stay invested in your progress, not just your session hour.

Rooted here
Steve's father practiced medicine in San Pedro. Steve and Daniela were raised here. Coastwise did not move to town, it grew here, and our clinicians are neighbours who chose to serve the people they know. Our practice sits on 7th Street, minutes from the waterfront. Clients come to us from across the harbor and the South Bay, and those who prefer to meet from home see the same licensed clinicians virtually, anywhere in California.
Virtual therapy across California, with the same licensed clinicians you would see in person.
Rooted in the harbor, Coastwise Health works with local longshore and union members who carry Blue Shield PPO coverage, including the ILWU-PMA Coastwise Indemnity Plan. See how your plan applies or call (424) 536-3002.

Steve is phenomenal. He always makes me feel heard and seen in our sessions with great questions and feedback. I could not recommend Coastwise more highly.

What we do
Our team brings focused, senior-level experience to the concerns clients most often bring to us. Through our personalized matching process, we connect you with the clinician whose experience, approach, and style best align with your needs. Therapy and specialized care sit inside one practice, so your care can stay with us as your needs change.
Therapeutic approaches we practice
Our clinicians draw from established and specialized therapeutic approaches based on your needs, not a one-size-fits-all treatment model.
Ready when you are
Tell us what is going on. We will tell you whether one of our therapists has the right skills to help, what it would cost, and what the first few weeks would look like. No pressure, no obligation.
