Listen up, folks! You ever heard of beach counseling and psychological services? Well, I heard that’s a thing now. Some folks go to the beach, not for sun and sand, but to talk about their troubles. I reckon it’s like talkin’ to a therapist, but by the ocean.
I heard some folks, they call ’em Beach Counseling Psychological Services, PsyD, LMHC, they’re like the head honchos of this beach therapy. They help people with all sorts of problems, big and small. You got a problem, they’ll listen, I guess. They say they can help with that trauma, depression, anxiety thing, and even help parents do a better job. Goodness knows we could all use some help with that.
Now, they say this ain’t your regular therapy. They call it beach counseling, so I suppose it’s different. Maybe they make you bury your problems in the sand, who knows? It sure sounds peculiar. But hey, if it helps, it helps. Some folks even say they have therapy right on the beach, ain’t that a sight? I’d like to see that. Just layin’ there, talkin’ about your worries to the waves.
I seen some reviews, they say Joel G. Prather, PsyD, Cara Wheeler, PsyD, they’re some big shots at this beach counseling. People say they’re good listeners and all that. They say they help you with kid problems, too. They got this thing called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), sounds fancy. I don’t know what it is, but they say it’s good for your brain, helps you think better.
- They got help for kids, 4 years old and up.
- They say they can help with lots of things.
- This Beach Counseling and Diagnostic Services, that’s what they call it.
This beach therapy, it’s a big deal. They even got it at that CSULB place, I hear. They call it CSULB crisis and mental health resources. Sounds serious. They help people with those bad feelings, make ’em feel better, I guess. And it’s free, you don’t gotta pay a dime. That’s good for us broke folks. Free and anonymous, that’s like a secret. You talk to them, they don’t tell nobody.
If you want a therapist, I guess you can find ’em. There’s this fella, David Longton, LMFT, and another one, James Vertrees, MSW, they’re in Panama City Beach, FL. Sounds like a fancy place. They’re all about that beach counseling too. I suppose there are many of them beach therapists all over now.
Now, some folks say there’s a difference between this counselin’ and somethin’ called psychotherapy. They say counselin’ is for problems you got right now, like a big fight with your husband or somethin’. But this psychotherapy, they say it’s for old problems, things that happened a long time ago. They say it goes deeper, like diggin’ a well. And it takes longer, makes changes that last a long time.
Me? I just talk to my chickens. They don’t judge, and they always listen. But if you need more than that, maybe this beach counseling is for you. Who knows, maybe talkin’ by the ocean is just what some folks need.
So, this mental health thing, it’s important, they say. Just like takin’ care of your body, you gotta take care of your mind, too. This beach psychotherapy, it’s like exercise for your brain, I reckon. Helps you stay strong, even when things get tough.
This whole beach counseling thing, it’s somethin’ else. If you’re feelin’ down, or worried, or just need someone to talk to, maybe give it a try. It might just be what the doctor ordered. But don’t forget your sunscreen, and maybe bring a bucket for seashells.
These Beachreach CSULB folks, they’re all about helpin’ people. It’s good to have someone to talk to when you’re feelin’ low. It’s like havin’ a good neighbor, always there to lend a hand. So if you’re near that CSULB place and need some help, you know where to go.
Well, I reckon that’s all I know about this beach counseling and psychological services business. It’s a whole new world out there, ain’t it? Just remember, no matter what, you ain’t alone. There’s always someone who cares, even if it’s just an old lady like me, or a therapist on the beach.
