About

Serving families, adults, and adolescents from 2108 Garnet Ave in the 92109 zip code, Pacific Beach Health is a mental health service offering outpatient behavioral health therapy. The facility operates under CEO Thomas Hathorn and holds NPI number 1871160408, classifying it as an adult mental health clinic. Treatment options include both partial hospitalization programming and intensive outpatient programming, with IOP sessions running three hours a day, Monday through Friday, so clients can balance recovery with work or school obligations. Residents picking up prescriptions between sessions can stop by CVS Pharmacy on Mission Boulevard, just a short drive from the Garnet Avenue office. The clinical team draws on modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, and family systems therapy to address conditions ranging from anxiety and depression to dual-diagnosis substance use. What sets the practice apart is its emphasis on ecopsychology and nature-based healing—clients participate in surf therapy, guided nature walks, and other outdoor experiential activities that leverage the coastal setting as part of the therapeutic process. The facility is LGBTQ+ friendly and accepts most major PPO insurance plans alongside private-pay options. Small program sizes allow for individualized attention, and a holistic philosophy that integrates spirituality rounds out a care model focused on mind, body, and connection to environment. Those seeking complementary bodywork between therapy sessions may find Bodywork by Masha a helpful addition to their wellness routine. The practice is open 24 hours, seven days a week, ensuring accessibility for clients at every stage of recovery.
