About

Sentiero in Carlsbad provides clinical psychology services across the lifespan, treating patients as young as two through psychoanalytic, CBT, DBT, and ACT modalities at its El Camino Real office. The practice's psychoeducational evaluation program identifies learning disabilities and executive-function deficits in school-age children through standardized assessment batteries, a diagnostic pathway that complements the developmental-testing focus at The Child Psychology Center. An APPIC-aligned training program for postdoctoral fellows and pre-doctoral associates registered through the California Board of Psychology anchors the practice's commitment to clinical education and supervision. IEP advocacy services navigate federal and state special-education law for families managing Section 504 accommodations, while somatic symptom referrals coordinate with movement-based providers such as Longevity Physical Therapy - Bressi Ranch in the nearby Bressi Ranch corridor. Clinicians deploy a dual-track model pairing exploratory psychoanalytic psychotherapy with structured behavioral interventions, allowing a single patient to work simultaneously with a psychodynamic psychologist and a solution-focused CBT practitioner.
