Seal Beach sends me the broadest span of clients of any city on this list: couples in their thirties, and men who retired a decade ago and have been carrying the same thing since they were twenty.
Three different rooms, one drive up Pacific Coast Highway.
Open any of the three. The work is not interchangeable between them, and pretending otherwise is how people end up with a therapist who is a poor fit.
- Younger couples
Something surfaced early

- Retired men

- Partners
