We are a group of therapists who each have private counseling practices in Half Moon Bay, California and/or neighboring communities. We are as diverse in our practices as we are in our lives. We thought that it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves to the Half Moon Bay commuity and to explain our various counseling styles so that, should you need therapy for yourself, your family or your friends, you will be better able to choose a therapist that will fit with your particular needs.

Please Note: This website represents only those therapists associated with the Coastside Therapists Group in Half Moon Bay, California.
