Our Services

At Beachside Psychology, we offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. We provide individual, couples, and family therapy sessions, as well as group therapy for specific issues such as stress management and mindfulness.

Finances and Insurance

We understand that financial constraints can be a significant barrier to seeking help. To alleviate this concern, our fees are competitively priced, and we are happy to work with most insurance providers to ensure maximum coverage. Our Medicare provider status means that for most clients with Medicare and a secondary policy, insurance will cover the entire fee.

Online Sessions

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have transitioned to conducting all sessions online using Zoom, FaceTime, and Google Meet. While some may initially feel hesitant about online sessions, we have found that these platforms offer many advantages, including convenience, confidentiality, and the ability to minimize traveling.
