Charles Bewley

Charles Bewley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Burbank, CA


After graduating from New York University with a BFA in drama, I moved to Los Angeles and taught drama and English literature at an L.A. public high school for nearly 20 years. My experience working with teenagers and their families taught me that, all too often, kids' barriers to learning are not academic in nature, but rather emotional challenges stemming from adversity and trauma. I became more and more interested in learning how to help teenagers and adults alike navigate these obstacles and come out stronger in the long run. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders (including OCD), PTSD and Complex-PTSD, and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Manhattan Beach

Searching for therapists in Manhattan Beach starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Manhattan Beach has a smaller local care market than nearby Los Angeles, so your best-fit therapist may offer in-person sessions nearby, virtual appointments, or both. Some people prefer a therapist with an office close to home or work, while others choose virtual care for more schedule options. As you narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Manhattan Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for Manhattan Beach therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
