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.
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.

A bit more about the space
The Encinitas office is where it all began. Dr. Kessler opened this location in 2018 as Coastal Therapy Group's first home—a welcoming suite on Saxony Road, just up the hill from Encinitas Boulevard. From the start, it was designed as a private, comfortable space to support the kind of deep, meaningful therapeutic work that defines our practice.
In November 2018, Dr. Robertson joined the practice, and together they shared the suite—two psychologists building something they believed in, side by side. That early period of collaboration set the tone for the team-centered culture that continues to define Coastal Therapy Group today.
Over the years, the practice grew—adding new psychologists and new locations in Carlsbad and Vista—but the Encinitas office has remained a steady, welcoming home for clients seeking therapy in Encinitas and the surrounding communities of Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Solana Beach, and Del Mar.
