As a women-owned trauma and couples therapy practice in Carlsbad Village, Upward Roots combines somatic EMDR with Gottman Method protocols under LMFT license #128217. Attachment-Focused EMDR and Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning Experience (DARe) form the core of individual trauma treatment, reprocessing relational wounds stored in the nervous system through bilateral stimulation — a body-first philosophy shared with Wavecrest Chiropractic. Couples sessions integrate the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT) with Gottman Method communication mapping to repair attachment ruptures and rebuild co-regulation capacity. Individual work addresses codependency, chronic pain, and complex PTSD through Internal Family Systems parts work layered with somatic experiencing, a nervous-system-level intervention aligned with the movement-based rehabilitation at DNA Physical Therapy. The highest-acuity protocols involve extended 110-minute EMDR intensives targeting developmental trauma across multiple attachment networks, requiring sequential resource installation, bilateral reprocessing, and future-template installation within a single session block.
