About

Wholeness Collective Therapy Group in Carlsbad Village is a trauma-focused boutique practice at 2942 Harding Street founded by a licensed marriage and family therapist who has practiced EMDR since 2011 and holds Somatic Experiencing Practitioner certification. The clinic's EMDR and Somatic Experiencing protocols target the nervous-system roots of trauma, co-dependency, and grief — body-based modalities that complement the meridian-focused regulation techniques offered at Aviara Acupuncture & Integrative Health in Carlsbad's Aviara corridor. The therapist team includes an LPCC trained in EMDR and certified in grief counseling, an APCC specializing in somatic therapy for anxiety, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol for vagus-nerve regulation. EMDR intensives — offered in full-day and half-day formats — compress what typically requires months of weekly sessions into concentrated processing blocks, serving clients traveling to Carlsbad specifically for accelerated trauma resolution. Primary-care physicians and urgent-care providers, including the clinical team at Coastal Family Urgent Care, refer patients presenting with anxiety and depression rooted in unresolved trauma that standard pharmacotherapy alone has not addressed. The Safe and Sound Protocol uses specially filtered music delivered through over-the-ear headphones to stimulate vagus-nerve pathways, targeting autonomic dysregulation in clients with trauma, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and chronic digestive issues.
