Specialty Behavioral Health on Carlsbad's El Camino Real corridor delivers evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and substance use disorders under California psychology license PSY18893, held since 2003. The practice's CBT and Motivational Interviewing protocols reflect credentials including Diplomate status with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, membership in the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), and BTTI Certified OCD Therapist designation through the International OCD Foundation — a clinical specificity that parallels the targeted musculoskeletal work at La Costa Chiropractic & Wellness. The directing clinician completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and served as a staff psychologist at UC San Diego before founding the Carlsbad practice in 2004. From 2005 through 2012, the practice maintained an Assistant Clinical Professor appointment at UCSD's Department of Psychiatry, and the clinician has served as co-principal investigator on NIH-funded clinical trial research. International consulting engagements train health and human service agencies, healthcare providers, and criminal justice organizations in combining CBT with Motivational Interviewing, a dual-modality training model that complements the structured fitness programming at F45 Training La Costa. The highest-complexity protocols involve concurrent OCD exposure-response prevention with substance use motivational enhancement, requiring session-by-session integration of behavioral pharmacology monitoring, structured hierarchy exposure, and relapse-prevention contingency planning.
