Belmont Heights, four blocks from the water.
The office sits on Park Ave in Long Beach, close to Bluff Park and the shoreline. It is an easy drive from Belmont Shore, Naples, Signal Hill, Seal Beach and most of north Orange County, with street parking on the surrounding blocks.
If in-person sessions are not practical (a commute from Irvine at 5pm, a schedule that will not hold still, or simply preferring to do this from your own home), telehealth is available anywhere in California and is how the men's group meets.
