Relational, Depth-Oriented Care That Honors the Whole Person

Our approach

Beyond Symptom Management.

At Seaside Psychotherapy & Training Center (SPTC), we are a group of clinicians who believe that mental health is about much more than symptom reduction. It's about understanding the cause of our pain and struggles and forming a deep knowing of ourselves that opens up life and transformation.

Integrating Spirituality

We acknowledge one’s spiritual life can be an important aspect of the healing process. Our clinicians are specifically trained to integrate your faith into the healing process.

Recognizing Cultural Identities

The diversity of your background is important to us. We strive to hold all aspects of who you are as a vital part of your therapeutic journey.

Through thoughtful exploration and support, we help individuals develop deeper self-understanding and emotional resilience—fostering confidence, clarity, and a greater sense of agency in their healing journey.
