ShorelineCounseling Center

Care that feels personal

A female-owned California practice built on access, quality and finding the right fit.

Our story

Holly Whitmore founded Shoreline to provide accessible, affordable mental health services to a diverse base of clients.

She wanted clients looking for quality, attentive care to get it from beginning to end: a clear first phone call, a clinician who fits, and fees explained up front.

Why Shoreline

A shoreline is where two tides meet. That's how we think about therapy: two people, each bringing something, meeting in the middle. You bring your story and the courage it takes to step in and do the work. We bring training, care and honesty.
