Our History
For over forty years, the Taus family has been serving the health needs of the San Pedro community. Steve Taus II LMFT expanded the family practice from medical care into psychotherapy services in 2008, and with the understanding that the body keeps the score, the family redesigned the office space in order to offer a more comprehensive wellness practice.
Our Philosophy
At Coastwise, we take a strength-based, goal-oriented approach, treating each person with compassion, truth, respect, and love. We don’t just focus on the challenges that bring our clients to us — we see them as whole individuals, each with their own life story and desire for something better. We understand the privilege and responsibility of holding someone's pain and struggle as they seek healing and brighter days. Our mission is simple: to help those who choose to strive for a better life. We offer proven therapies to support that journey, because in the end, what you do with your time matters. We're here to help you make the most of it.

Our space has been intentionally designed to create the ideal environment for healing. Safety, love, kindness, intelligence, and respect fill every corner of our center, making it a place where true vulnerability and growth can happen.
These essential elements foster real relationships and allow our therapists to work at their highest level, enhancing the healing experience for our clients. Our goal is for everyone who walks through the doors at Coastwise to feel a sense of peace and think, "This feels good, I’m glad to be here."
