Steps from the Pacific Beach boardwalk at 4603 Mission Blvd, Suite 217 in 92109, licensed clinical social worker Lori Linn Pele runs PB Therapy By The Sea. Pele earned her Master of Science degree from Columbia University School of Social Work in New York City and has accumulated more than 15 years of clinical experience across San Diego. Her practice specializes in depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and life transitions, serving children, teens, adults, and families through in-office sessions, walking beach sessions along the shoreline, and telehealth appointments available statewide. Those looking to complement therapy with bodywork can book a session at Bodywork by Masha, a wellness practitioner also based in Pacific Beach. The women-owned practice sits in a building with free street parking and on-site parking, and the office features a gender-neutral restroom and is designated LGBTQ+ friendly and a transgender safe space. Pele provides strength-based, solution-focused therapy and offers clinical supervision to MFT, ASW, and PCC interns pursuing licensure. She also facilitates confidential support groups for adolescents and adult survivors navigating recovery. After a late-afternoon session, clients sometimes walk the boardwalk south toward Honest Bodywork for additional self-care. Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling (619) 379-8482.
