Getting here from Hermosa Beach, or starting by video
By car: from Hermosa Beach, take Pacific Coast Highway or Aviation Blvd up to Sepulveda Blvd, or cut over to the I-405 north, then go west on Venice Blvd.
By transit: Hermosa Beach has no rail station of its own. Riders usually reach the Metro K Line in a neighboring city, transfer to the E Line at Expo/Crenshaw, and finish on Metro Line 33 along Venice Blvd. Check Metro’s maps and schedules for current connections.
By video: for a Hermosa Beach client with an early surf, a remote job or kids to collect, video keeps the weekly hour without the round trip.
Hermosa Beach: local context and resources
Hermosa Beach is a compact coastal city of 19,728 residents at the 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau figures via LA Almanac), set between Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. It belongs to Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Area 8 (DMH Service Area 8 summary; LA County DMH), which organizes county clinics and programs for the South Bay.
Life here is outdoors and social: volleyball, surfing, the Strand, and a lively downtown. It draws young professionals and families, and that can make it hard to admit you are struggling when everyone around you looks fine. People in Hermosa Beach come to us with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, or questions about whether drinking has crept into too many plans. Young adults sometimes feel stuck between a fun beach life and the next step in work or school. Free county services, support groups and hotlines are listed through 211 LA County and the county’s Get Help page.
Who we help in Hermosa Beach
- Young professionals in Hermosa Beach with anxiety, depression or burnout.

- Couples and individuals working through relationship problems.
- College students and young adults back home in Hermosa Beach. When clinically appropriate we write leave of absence and return letters; see therapy for college students.
- Hermosa Beach parents and teens, through family sessions and parent-only sessions.
In the office or by video: which fits you
Hermosa Beach is close enough that some clients prefer the office every week, especially for Brainspotting, which we offer in person only. Others start by video and come in for a longer session now and then. Either way, you keep the same therapist.
