About

Ashley DuChene, LMFT in Carlsbad holds California license #140240 and operates a women-owned private practice specializing in trauma, anxiety, and EMDR therapy on Faraday Avenue. Her clinical toolkit spans EMDR bilateral stimulation, Brainspotting, Schema Therapy, DBT, and CBT — a multi-modal repertoire that parallels the integrative treatment philosophy at S.A.G.E. Therapy Center in Carlsbad. A Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy earned summa cum laude from Touro University grounds the practice in attachment science, applied to both teen identity work and adult relational trauma. Session formats include standard 50-minute appointments, extended 100-minute deep-processing blocks, and half-day therapy intensives designed to accelerate EMDR desensitization for clients managing somatic stress patterns also addressed by Phillips Chiropractic in Carlsbad. Brainspotting sessions use fixed-eye positioning to access subcortical trauma material that bilateral-stimulation protocols alone may not reach, targeting deep-brain structures where unresolved emotional charge is stored.
