About

John Hamilton, LCSW holds California license LCSW99128 and provides psychotherapy in Carlsbad from Suite 205 at 2011 Palomar Airport Road, near the corridor between El Camino Real and the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. Hamilton earned his MSW from California State University, Long Beach in 1995, and his practice's emphasis on life transitions, addiction recovery, and trauma incorporates structured physical activity as a clinical adjunct, with exercise-as-therapy referrals extending to Concierge Personal Training in the same North County service area. The practice accepts Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Magellan, Optum, Tricare, TriWest, and UnitedHealthcare, providing broad insurance accessibility for clients navigating the cost barriers that often delay mental health treatment. Hamilton maintains a second office location in Oceanside, extending coverage across North County San Diego's coastal communities. Somatic stress-management techniques referenced in treatment planning coordinate with the hands-on chiropractic and soft-tissue interventions at Foundation Chiropractic, where clients address the physical tension patterns that accompany chronic anxiety and trauma responses. Hamilton's treatment approach combines cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic frameworks to target the avoidance patterns, emotional dysregulation, and relational disruptions that characterize addiction and post-traumatic stress presentations.
