Sandra Wasserman Family Counseling in Carlsbad provides bilingual English- and Spanish-language therapy from Suite 102 at 2890 Pio Pico Drive in the Village-adjacent 92008 ZIP code. Wasserman holds dual LMFT and RPT (Registered Play Therapist) credentials, equipping the practice with directive and nondirective play-therapy modalities for children ages three through twelve — a developmental-intervention model that shares referral pathways with the family-systems work at Aligned Families. The RPT designation, conferred by the Association for Play Therapy, requires 150 hours of play-therapy–specific instruction and 500 hours of supervised play-therapy clinical experience beyond the LMFT license. Marriage and family sessions complement the child-therapy caseload, addressing communication patterns, co-parenting dynamics, and relational conflict across both in-person and telehealth formats. Families accessing community-based family programming in the Village core connect through resources at Harding Community Center on Roosevelt Street. The practice's highest-complexity cases involve concurrent child play-therapy and parent-guidance sessions using sand-tray assessment, attachment-informed directive play, and structured family reunification protocols.
