Our Specializations
EMDR
We offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective approach for processing traumatic experiences and overcoming emotional distress. Our experienced EMDR therapists are dedicated to guiding you through this evidence-based therapy, helping you find relief and healing from past traumas.
EXECUTIVES
Being someone who people might recognize comes with a specific set of challenges when seeking mental health support. At Pacific Coast Therapy, we take extra steps to ensure privacy and confidentiality for well-known individuals, their spouses, and their families.
ADOLESCENTS
Seeing your adolescent struggle can be one of the hardest things a parent may face. For many adolescents, using words to describe what they are feeling on a physical or emotional level is not a possibility.
FAMILIES
At Pacific Coast Therapy, we specialize in family therapy, fostering stronger bonds and effective communication within families. Our experienced therapists work closely with families to address conflicts, improve relationships, and provide the support needed to navigate life’s challenges together.
PARENTING COACHING
At Pacific Coast Therapy, our parent coaching services are designed to empower parents with effective strategies and tools to navigate the challenges of parenthood confidently. Our experienced coaches provide personalized guidance, helping parents build stronger connections with their children and create harmonious family dynamics.
LGBTQIA+
At Pacific Coast Therapy, we are committed to creating a safe and affirming space for the LGBTQIA+ community. Our LGBTQ Affirming Therapy Services are designed to provide a supportive environment where all individuals are respected and understood.
PREGNANCY, POSTPARTUM, NEW PARENTS
Pacific Coast Therapy offers specialized therapy for pregnancy, postpartum, and new parents, providing a supportive and nurturing space to address the unique emotional challenges that come with this transformative life stage. Our compassionate therapists help individuals and couples navigate the emotional ups and downs, providing valuable guidance and strategies for a smoother transition into parenthood.
COUPLES
Couples come to therapy for many reasons. For some, it’s to strengthen the foundation you already have. For others, it may feel like you’re on the verge of separation.
