Coastal Counseling

I don’t know where to begin since I’m probably the longest customer to be had and my life has forever changed thanks to Dr. Semmes! Therapy is all what you put in it to help your self, but also to have a therapist that is willing to learn what you need to help pull you from the pits at times and get you back on that path to heal. They are suppose to challenge and help you to see your life in different lenses whether you like it or not. That’s a five+++ stay therapist. Dr. Semmes knows her shit and will work her magic to help you! I hope this leads you to take steps to help yourself bc we all need it! Life can be fing hard.
Robyn was also an amazing therapist for me and husband in a time of need. She is a fantastic listener and her calming approach is what my husband needed to listen to her when given us guidance.
You can not go wrong with anyone here!

I had a couple sessions with Robyn and durning our second session 25 minutes ago she told me 2 or 3 times I couldn’t be medicated in our sessions. I am a medicinal cannabis patient, valid recommend and all, I don’t understand why she couldn’t seem to get past this. Two days before I was in the hospital with an extreme amount of pain, covered in bruises and bumps, so of course I was slightly medicated. I got a ride to and from her office and had no trouble communicating, I could understand her wishes if I was nodding off or being unresponsive, but she seemed to have a very strong opinion on the subject.

I love my therapist I honestly would be lost without her !!! Thanks so much coastal team !

Inspired, refreshed, and uplifted from every therapy session I’ve had with Robyn A. Her intelligence goes beyond the text books, it’s in conjunction with her own personal development, passion, and she is truly gifted in this line of work. I highly suggest honoring yourself with freeing yourself of self bondage and pain of the past, which we all need the help of another at times. She’s as genuine as one could be, she’s helped me tremendously, I believe she can do the same for you.

Coastal Counseling is a great place. It is beautiful and professional inside. Sue Shrinkle is amazing! Excellent at helping you to solve problems when life seems to be piling on top of you, and she is great with aiding in self development. Very happy I found her!

After 6 months of searching for the «right fit» for a therapist, I finally found Marilyn Olson. I started individual therapy with her, and having successfully changed my life for the better, decided to join one of the Women’s Support Groups that she runs. I have been amazed at the positive, empowering, and encouraging transformations that I have witnessed in the other women as well as within myself! I never would have thought that I could be the Happy, Independent, Daring, and Creative woman that I am today. I am grateful that I took the first step in choosing her as my incredibly nonjudgmental, caring, and empathetic therapist! If you are picky like me, you just found your fit!

My therapy experience with Dr. Semmes has been great. If anyone is seeking help for depression or would like to make changes in their life, I would recommend coming here.

First off, getting scheduled was really fast. Eran got back to me within 24 hours and even though we kept playing phone tag (he was out of town for a conference I believe), he was more than helpful at helping me set up my first appointment with Casey.
I’ve been seeing Casey for about a month or so now, and she is so personable. She is very insightful and every session I’ve had with her thus far I feel like I’ve made progress and/​important realizations. She is flexible with her time too — at one point I couldn’t make a session until 8:30 pm, but she made it work!
Also, the rumors about tea and coffee are true. The whole environment is relaxing and inviting. No harsh lighting in the rooms either. All around great place.

HIGHLIGHTS: comfortable, honest, convenient
My husband and I have been meeting with Dr. Jennifer Semmes for a couple of months now and are very pleased with the quality of the time we’ve spent. Dr. Semmes is a very comfortable person to talk to, like the other reviewer said, it’s like she’s a close friend that you hang out with every weekend. She’s very professional and has a deep respect for the practice. I am confident that our relationship would not be in the great shape it is now if it weren’t for our time with her.
Extra bonus: complimentary tea and water in the waiting area.

My girlfriend of 8 years and I, in an effort to save our crumbling relationship, decided counseling was our last hope. We called Coastal Counseling and were immediately contacted by Eran who got us an appointment in a matter of days. Having never done this before, we were both convinced that our relationship was in such disrepair that the counselor would tell us we would be better off ending it. The confidence, compassion and genuine care Eran demonstrated to us that first visit immediately assured us that we were in the right place. He guided us in a way that worked for our own unique set of problems without ever making us feel any shame or guilt for our wrongdoings. Furthermore, Eran is great about acknowledging each of our feelings which leaves us both feeling heard and that much more secure in his capabilities to help us through our problems. Since seeing Eran our relationship has completely changed for the better. I could have never imagined how far we would have come in such little time. We see each other in this whole new light now and every day gets better and better. We are forever indebted to Eran and Coastal Counseling and are so grateful for the help they gave us. Thank you Eran!

After a long road to find the right therapist, I’ve finally found an office that is helpful, pleasant, and focused on actually helping the individual or couple! Would be a good fit for anyone searching for individual, couples or family therapy.

Jen is like a friend you’ve known for years and your chatting over a cup of coffee, literally… They have a great selection of coffees and teas in the waiting area:). This is my very first experience with therapy. My best friend said I might go through multiple therapists until I find the right one, but I was lucky! I look forward to every session and when I leave I feel like I can breathe. The office is great, environment is relaxing and there is always a great magazine selection! I love this place! I have referred three people to Coastal Counseling and I’m sure there is more to come!

I was not sure what to expect when i was searching for a therapist in my area, but like a lot of things in life, you just kind of know when it feels like the right fit. Jen from Coastal Counseling was immediately responsive and happy to answer all of my questions. Price was a bit of a concern for me as I hadn’t hit my insurance deductible at that time, but Jen was able to work with me on a sliding scale price that was well within my comfort range, which allowed me to focus on therapy and not stress out about the cost. This has been a great experience for me and I would recommend these guys to anyone.
