"Empowering Minds,
Nurturing Communities"
Welcome to Beach Cities Mindfulness, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting schools and communities through impactful mindfulness-based social and emotional learning programs, as well as behavioral modification programs. Our mission is to promote the mental and emotional well-being of students, school staff, families, and communities, with a focus on integrating mindfulness practices as a means to foster healing and cultivate hope.
Our Values
Our values form the foundation of our organization's approach to supporting schools and communities.
Presence
Presence is a key component of mindfulness and being present allows us to be in the “here and now.” Being present leads us to a journey of learning who we are and recognizing our presences within ourselves. We believe when we value our presence, it opens our minds and hearts to experience sharing collectively.
Compassion
We believe compassion is an integral part of our values. Being compassionate within ourselves and society allows us to empathize and heal from trauma, pain or grief in our daily lives.
Collaborative
We are collaborative, flexible, and open to change. Embracing change and envisioning positive possibilities and opportunities thru collaboration. It is through our alliance we can adjust to meet our goals and values together.

Our Story
Beach Cities Mindfulness was established to help educate communities and schools on mindfulness based social, emotional learning and behavioral modification programs.
Programs are designed to meet the needs of the community and schools to help decrease anxiety and stress from our everyday lives. During the onset of the pandemic a group of therapists recognized the importance of intertwining mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy in practice. Dealing with the uncertainty during the pandemic utilizing mindfulness and CBT were found to help clients move forward during and after the pandemic.

Our programs
Mindfulness-Based Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Programs:
These programs are designed for schools and aim to cultivate emotional intelligence, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills among students. Through mindfulness practices, students learn to manage stress, regulate their emotions, and build healthy relationships, enhancing their overall well-being and academic success.
Behavioral Modification
Programs
These programs are designed to support individuals who may be struggling with challenging behaviors, such as anger management, impulse control, or addiction. Our mindfulness-based interventions help individuals develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier coping mechanisms, leading to positive behavioral changes.
Therapy for Victims of Crime
We provide mental health services to help to break the cycle of violence, at the same time decreasing symptoms that are a direct result of crime, abuse, trauma. Our therapists provide a safe and secure environment that many have never had the opportunity to experience. Additionally our staff offers: psychoeducation and safety-plans, and client-centered trauma-focused therapy interventions. Our goal is to help self-empower victims to heal from the painful wounds of trauma and abuse. Therapy can help transform their maladaptive stories in order to free them for the vicious cycle of embracing shame and blame that they often bring onto themselves. With help from our caring clinicians, they can help to transform victims into victors, with a new story and outlook for their future!
