A Note from Pacfic Coast Founder Kaila Hattis

I have always felt a strong purpose in helping others. I’ve known that I wanted to be a therapist since I was 14 years old. Now, being a therapist in Santa Cruz, where I was born and raised, feels incredibly special.

When founding Pacific Coast Therapy, I reflected on the value of mental health care. The mission of Pacific Coast Therapy is to create an environment (both in-person and virtual) for people to feel unconditionally supported and emotionally safe to process, grow, and overcome hardships. Pacific Coast Therapy is where clients can come to know that someone will listen without judgement.

At Pacific Coast Therapy, there is an ever-present sense of ease and comfort, while also acknowledging that going to vulnerable places takes courage and trust. If you or someone you know is thinking about starting therapy don’t hesitate to reach out for more information.

With gratitude,

Kaila Hattis, M.A., LMFT
Founder & Director at Pacific Coast Therapy
