Sound Familiar?
You're not alone — and you're not broken. These are the moments that bring most of our clients through the door.
If you recognize yourself in any of these, therapy can help. And you don't have to figure it out alone.
Talk to someone who gets itRacing thoughts, constant worry, and a knot in your stomach that won't go away.
You love each other, but every conversation turns into an argument or awkward silence.
You know something needs to change, but you can't figure out what — or how.
You second-guess every decision and never feel like you're doing enough.
Everyone thinks you're fine, but inside you're barely keeping up.
"You're not just another appointment."
Our Approach
At Positive Counseling Center, you're matched with a therapist who specializes in exactly what you're going through.
We're a group practice — which means our team brings together specialists in anxiety, couples therapy, family dynamics, psychiatry, and more. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you get someone who truly understands your situation and has the tools to help you move forward.

FAQ
If something in your life feels harder than it should, therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis — most of our clients come in because they want to feel better, not because they've hit rock bottom.
That's our job. When you reach out, we'll learn about your situation and match you with a therapist who specializes in what you're going through. And if the fit isn't right, we'll find someone who is.
Please contact us for current insurance information. We're happy to discuss payment options during your initial call.
Your first session is about getting comfortable. Your therapist will ask about what brought you in, learn about your background, and together you'll set some initial goals. There's no pressure — it's a conversation, not an interrogation.
Yes. We offer teletherapy via phone or video for clients who prefer remote sessions or can't make it to our San Pedro or Long Beach offices.
It depends on your goals and situation. Some clients see meaningful progress in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist will work with you to find what's right.
