Sea Love Healing

What Sea Love Healing does

Sea Love Healing is a founder-owned private mental health and wellness practice headquartered in Carlsbad, California, delivering a portfolio of therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families across Southern California and virtually. The practice offers individual therapy using EMDR, IFS, somatic, and psychodynamic modalities; couples and family counseling; nature- and ocean-based surf therapy; life coaching; guided meditation; and a range of recreational therapeutic activities such as art, yoga, and horticulture. Services are priced per session, ranging from $100 (sliding-scale associate sessions) to $300 (founder premium sessions), with insurance not accepted but superbills, FSA, and HSA payments supported.

The company operates two physical office locations in Carlsbad (San Diego County) and Huntington Beach (Orange County), supplemented by outdoor beach-based sessions and Zoom-delivered virtual therapy. Its only technology layer is a third-party e-learning platform hosting a self-paced Surf Therapy Training course for healthcare and wellness professionals, priced at $550-$900 with optional 1:1 consultations. The business model is direct-to-consumer with no enterprise contracts, relying on the website, TherapyDen directory listings, free Insight Timer meditation content, and word-of-mouth referrals for client acquisition.

Sea Love Healing is led by founder Jess Ripley (LMFT, CTRS), supported by one associate therapist (Kylie Learakos, AMFT). There is no external funding, no parent company, no patents or awards, and no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated entirely from per-session fees and course sales, with all clinical capacity concentrated in two individuals.
