Waiting room for therapy and psychological testing in Carlsbad

01. individual therapy

We work with people of all ages on a wide variety of subjects, and have specialties that include anxiety, depression, relationships, issues with sexuality and identity, and issues with religion and spirituality. Book sessions in Carlsbad, Encinitas, or online.

02. couples therapy

Whether the therapy is to resolve conflict, heal wounds from the past, establish healthy boundaries, or simply strengthen the relationship, no matter the issue, we are here to help. Regaining relational intimacy is accomplished through honest and connected experiences.

03. group therapy

Are you interested in working toward your goals with a group of other people invested in their growth? Groups have a wonderful way of recreating emotional and relational experiences you have outside of the group, while giving you the support you need to choose new ways to respond. We are now currently recruiting any members for new therapy groups.

04. psychological testing

Our hope is to provide clarity and resources to support your overall well-being. Whether it is to improve your mental health, clarify what you need to perform your best, or help you reduce barriers to learning at school, psychological testing can help you or your loved one.

Carlsbad Office

Doing the hard work of therapy requires a strong relationship in a space that feels safe. We take pride in both—the depth of our therapeutic relationships and the care we’ve put into creating a supportive environment. Our Carlsbad Village office offers a private, comfortable setting designed to foster meaningful work. Located in the heart of the Village, the office is both accessible and warmly inviting.

A bit more about the space

This suite has been home to psychologists in Carlsbad since it was first constructed in 1978. We were thrilled to inherit the space in 2022 from the original tenant. Designed with privacy and comfort in mind—with a private exit door and abundant natural light—it immediately felt like the perfect fit for our team of psychologists.

Before moving here, we were based in a smaller suite in the Carlsbad Village area and had our eye on this space for years as the ideal home for our growing practice. The suite includes a large waiting room, five therapy offices, and a private bathroom—providing a calm and welcoming environment for therapy and psychological assessment.

Located on North State Street, our Carlsbad office sits next to Maxton Brown Park—with shaded picnic tables overlooking the Buena Vista Lagoon—and is just steps away from some of the best coffee shops and restaurants in North County San Diego.
