About

Dr. Nikki Kanemaru-Klein holds California psychology license PSY22992 and practices clinical psychology in Carlsbad's La Costa neighborhood from a private office on Corte Romero. Her clinical caseload addresses depression, anxiety, panic disorders, and seasonal affective disorder through evidence-based protocols, complementing the somatic rehabilitation work at nearby Longevity Physical Therapy - La Costa for patients managing co-occurring physical and psychological conditions. Kanemaru-Klein earned her PhD from Alliant International University's San Diego campus in 2005 and has since built a clinical practice spanning private and institutional settings including Wave Clinical Counselors. The practice accepts Medicare and offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, bridging traditional clinical assessment with the mindfulness-based stress interventions taught at studios such as Breathe Degrees in Carlsbad. Highest-complexity cases involve multi-instrument psychological testing batteries combining MMPI-2-RF personality assessment, Beck Depression Inventory screening, and structured diagnostic interviews for differential diagnosis of mood and anxiety spectrum disorders.
