The mission of the practice is to help all clients find hope, healing, and happiness while working through barriers from the past and present that hold them back from their ideal life.

 

Founded in 2021 by Christine Tomasello, LMFT, Beachside Counseling was created to provide high-quality, accessible therapy services to various communities and populations throughout the state and strives to be a safe and inclusive therapy space for all clients. We are a self-pay practice that offers full rate, “pay what you can” rates, and Open Path rates to clients in financial need to ensure our services are accessible to a variety of socioeconomic statuses.

 

Christine identifies as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and specializes in grief & loss, life transitions, fellow HSPs, and therapy for therapists. She combines an inclusive, trauma-informed approach with a strengths-based and psychodynamic lens in her clinical work, and integrates aspects of narrative therapy, attachment theory, CBT, ACT, SFBT, and DBT in her interventions. Beachside Counseling supports ongoing development for all therapists and encourages Associate Therapists to explore various modalities and theories as they develop their clinical skills to see what orientations work best for their clinical practice.
